France, March 30 -- In the report Humanity Must Win: defending rights, tackling repression at the 2026 Fifa World Cup, Amnesty says neither World Cup organisers Fifa nor the US authorities have provided any guarantees that supporters will be safe from ethnic profiling, indiscriminate raids, unlawful detention and deportation.

"None of the three US draft host city human rights plans so far published provide any mention of how people will be protected from such threats," the report says.

"Indeed, the acting director of Ice has told [US] Congress that the agency will be 'a key part of the overall security apparatus for the World Cup.'"

In June 2018, the US, Mexico and Canada beat off Morocco's bid to stage the 2026 World Cup.
