In this episode, Fragomen FC hosts Rick Lamanna (Toronto, Canada), Sergio Flores (Mexico City, Mexico) and Jake Minster (Boston, United States) recap the end of the European football season and look ahead to the Club World Cup this summer.
They also discuss the June 4 US presidential proclamation restricting visa issuance for nationals of 19 countries including Iran, Venezuela and Togo. While the order exempts athletes, coaches, essential support staff and immediate family attending designated international sporting events, questions remain about how it may affect the Club World Cup and ongoing competitions like the Major League Soccer (MLS) season.
