Donald Trump has just banned 15 countries that have qualified for the World Cup from entering the US

Donald Trump has just announced his new list of 75 countries whose people are now banned from entering the US, and some of them include nations which have qualified for the 2026 World Cup and could play in the US.

This year's tournament is going to be held across Mexico, the US and Canada, but some fans hoping to travel to watch their teams play have had their plans spoiled by a new round of travel bans.

A ban which came into effect on 1 January includes a full ban on Haiti and Iran, while partial restrictions have been placed on Senegal and the Ivory Coast.

Haiti and Iran are both scheduled to play all of their group games in the US, while the Ivory Coast and Senegal have two in the US and one in Canada.

There are some exceptions to this travel ban which includes athletes travelling for major sporting events, so the football teams of these countries and their coaching staff will be allowed to travel to the US but their fans won't be able to follow them.

Another travel ban introduced by the Trump administration, which kicks in on 21 January, includes these four countries and 71 others.

According to a State Department memo, consular officers have been told to refuse immigrant visas under existing laws as a reassessment of 'screening and vetting' procedures take place.

This is supposed to be a pause before a new visa processing system is put in place, and according to the BBC the restrictions will not apply to non-immigrant, temporary tourist or business visas.

As such there are four countries whose fans may not be allowed into the US for the World Cup, and a further 11 who have been placed on a travel ban list that would at present not affect temporary tourist visas.

Of course people from these countries may be concerned that being put on one travel ban list could lead to further problems if the Trump administration decides to change things further down the line before the World Cup.

NPR reports that a notice has been sent to US embassies and consulates warning that non-immigrant visa applications should 'have been fully vetted and screened', saying it was up to the applicant to prove they wouldn't apply for public benefits in the US.

While some fans might not be able to go to the World Cup at all, many others could face a much more difficult time sorting out travel.

Exactly how these travel bans will affect fans from all the nations that have qualified for the World Cup remains to be seen, though it is likely to be varying degrees of difficult.

Full restrictions are in place on people trying to enter from Haiti and Iran, while the partial restrictions are in place for Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), while the Democratic Republic of the Congo could still qualify and is also on the list.

Meanwhile, the countries which have qualified for the World Cup who have been placed on the more recent travel ban list and may be worrying whether future changes could affect their fans are Algeria, Brazil, Cape Verde, Colombia, Egypt, Ghana, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, Uruguay and Uzbekistan.

Iraq and Jamaica are also on the new travel ban list and both could still qualify for the World Cup.
