Africa-Press – Madagascar. <\/strong> <\/span>La Fe\u0301de\u0301ration internationale de la presse sportive a re\u0301ve\u0301le\u0301 que des journalistes africains et iraniens ont e\u0301te\u0301 empe\u0302che\u0301s d’obtenir les visas ne\u0301cessaires pour couvrir les e\u0301ve\u0301nements de la Coupe du Monde 2026 aux E\u0301tats-Unis.<\/p>\n

La Fe\u0301de\u0301ration internationale a demande\u0301 a\u0300 la FIFA d’intervenir rapidement pour re\u0301soudre les proble\u0300mes de visas rencontre\u0301s par plusieurs journalistes accre\u0301dite\u0301s pour couvrir la finale du tournoi, conside\u0301rant que leur interdiction d’entrer aux E\u0301tats-Unis est \u00ab\u00a0inacceptable\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Dans un communique\u0301 publie\u0301 depuis Lausanne, en Suisse, la Fe\u0301de\u0301ration a de\u0301clare\u0301 qu’il ne restait que quelques jours avant le de\u0301but du tournoi, et pourtant de nombreux journalistes ayant rec\u0327u l’accre\u0301ditation officielle de la FIFA rencontrent encore des difficulte\u0301s varie\u0301es pour obtenir des visas ame\u0301ricains. Elle a appele\u0301 la FIFA a\u0300 garantir que les repre\u0301sentants des me\u0301dias touche\u0301s ne soient pas injustement prive\u0301s d’entre\u0301e aux E\u0301tats-Unis.<\/p>\n

Le communique\u0301 a re\u0301ve\u0301le\u0301 que le pre\u0301sident de la Fe\u0301de\u0301ration, Gianni Merlo, au nom du comite\u0301 exe\u0301cutif de l’organisation, a adresse\u0301 un message officiel au directeur des relations me\u0301diatiques de la FIFA, Brian Swanson, et au responsable des ope\u0301rations et des services me\u0301diatiques de l’association, Jochen Steinhoff, exprimant le me\u0301contentement de la Fe\u0301de\u0301ration face a\u0300 la persistance de ce qu’il a qualifie\u0301 de \u00ab\u00a0proble\u0300me ancien et inacceptable\u00a0\u00bb concernant le refus de de\u0301livrer des visas d’entre\u0301e a\u0300 des journalistes accre\u0301dite\u0301s.<\/p>\n

Merlo a mentionne\u0301 qu’il existe de nombreux cas impliquant des journalistes iraniens et africains, pre\u0301cisant que certains d’entre eux n’ont rec\u0327u des visas d’entre\u0301e qu’une seule fois, ce qui les empe\u0302chera de revenir aux E\u0301tats-Unis s’ils doivent accompagner leurs e\u0301quipes pour des matchs pre\u0301vus au Canada ou au Mexique dans le cadre du tournoi commun entre les trois pays.<\/p>\n

Il a ajoute\u0301 que ces restrictions sont en contradiction avec les slogans qui affirment que le sport est un moyen de construire des ponts entre les peuples, de\u0301clarant que le monde va dans la direction oppose\u0301e dans ce cas, bien que la pre\u0301sence des journalistes et leur couverture du tournoi soient un e\u0301le\u0301ment important pour promouvoir l’image et les valeurs du sport, notamment aux E\u0301tats-Unis, ou\u0300 la liberte\u0301 de la presse est une valeur fondamentale.<\/p>\n

Le pre\u0301sident de la Fe\u0301de\u0301ration internationale de la presse sportive a averti que le retard dans la de\u0301livrance des visas a de\u0301ja\u0300 cause\u0301 des dommages aux journalistes concerne\u0301s, car plusieurs d’entre eux ont perdu l’occasion de be\u0301ne\u0301ficier de billets d’avion qu’ils avaient re\u0301serve\u0301s a\u0300 l’avance, en plus d’e\u0302tre contraints de supporter des frais supple\u0301mentaires importants.<\/p>\n

Les E\u0301tats-Unis, le Canada et le Mexique accueilleront la finale de la Coupe du Monde 2026, qui de\u0301butera dans les jours a\u0300 venir avec la participation de 48 e\u0301quipes pour la premie\u0300re fois dans l’histoire du tournoi.<\/p>\n
