John Bishop Calls World Cup “a Complete Embarrassment,” Urges Boycott of FIFA Tournament
February 7, 2026
“THE WORLD CUP IS A JOKE. A COMPLETE EMBARRASSMENT.”
John Bishop slams FIFA and calls for a World Cup boycott.
When corruption gets trophies
and abuse gets shrugged off,
the game loses all meaning.
If FIFA won’t clean house,
fans will walk.
Because silence is endorsement
and boycotts are the language power understands.

English Script:
John Bishop: My feeling boycott it.
Interviewer: Really?
John Bishop: Honestly, I think the World Cup was a joke. I think FIFA giving Donald Trump a big rosette and a peace prize has undermined everything that football’s about. I think the fact that is being played in a country that’s threatening not to give visas to the players, to the staff, to the fans, I think is ridiculous. I think it’s a complete embarrassment. That wasn’t the answer you’d expect. Was it?
Interviewer: It wasn’t. But it’s not one I entirely disagree with!
John Bishop: It’s not exactly three lions on your chest, is it? But it is I think the World Cup is now a joke. I don’t think I’ll be giving it any time. It’s really undermined what football’s all about.
