The U.S. government has announced that Kenyans can now apply for visas to attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States. U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide have begun processing these visa requests, urging fans to apply early.

• The 2026 World Cup will be the largest ever, featuring 48 teams and 104 matches across 16 cities in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
• FIFA President Gianni Infantino had previously assured Kenyan fans that potential U.S. travel restrictions under President Donald Trump’s administration would not affect tournament access.
• The U.S. Department of State requires visa applicants to provide extensive information, including social media usernames from the past five years, warning that providing incorrect information could lead to visa denial and future ineligibility.
