JUST IN: Some commentators and fans have criticized hosting major international tournaments in the United States, citing travel and visa challenges that may affect attendance.

Concerns Over Entry Requirements

Among the most frequently cited issues are visa processing times, travel documentation requirements, and the complexity of navigating international entry procedures.

Critics argue that lengthy application processes or appointment backlogs could discourage some supporters from traveling, particularly those coming from countries where visa approvals may take weeks or months.

Others worry that uncertainty surrounding travel permissions could affect attendance numbers, especially for fans making plans on short notice during tournament play.
