PORTALUTAMA.NET, NEW YORK \u2013 Perhelatan Piala Dunia 2026 yang digelar di Amerika Serikat, Kanada, dan Meksiko memasuki babak krusial. Delapan tim terbaik tengah bersaing memperebutkan tiket semifinal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Namun di balik kemeriahan turnamen, sorotan justru mengarah pada persoalan sosial dan politik yang menyertainya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Penilaian itu disampaikan Imam Besar Masjid Al-Hikmah New York dan diaspora Indonesia di Amerika Serikat, Imam Shamsi Ali. Menurutnya, Piala Dunia tahun ini sarat muatan politik yang memengaruhi jalannya pertandingan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imam Shamsi Ali menyoroti sikap FIFA yang dinilainya tidak independen. Ia mencontohkan keputusan FIFA memboikot Rusia karena konflik di Ukraina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNamun di sisi lain, FIFA tetap mengizinkan Israel yang sejak 1948 dituduh melanggar hukum internasional dan melakukan genosida di Gaza untuk berpartisipasi,\u201d ujar Imam Shamsi Ali melalui keterangan tertulisnya kepada Fajar.co.id, Sabtu malam (11\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cApapun pembenarannya, dunia tahu FIFA seolah menutup mata. Tidak heran jika FIFA kerap dijuluki organisasi berstandar ganda,\u201d lanjutnya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lebih jauh, Imam Shamsi Ali menyoroti perlakuan diskriminatif terhadap tim dan perangkat pertandingan dari Afrika dan Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ia mencontohkan Timnas Iran yang meski lolos ke Piala Dunia, tidak diizinkan menetap di AS selama turnamen. Akibatnya, skuad Iran harus bermarkas di Meksiko dan bolak-balik setiap kali bertanding di wilayah AS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIni tentu menguras waktu, tenaga, dan mengganggu persiapan tim,\u201d katanya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perlakuan serupa juga menimpa wasit terbaik Afrika, Omar Abdulkadir Artan. Ia disebut dideportasi setibanya di AS karena berpaspor Somalia dan dituduh memiliki kaitan dengan organisasi teroris tanpa bukti jelas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBeberapa tim dari Afrika dan Asia diperlakukan tidak etis di bandara. Pemeriksaan berlebihan dan merendahkan martabat membuat mereka seolah dianggap kriminal,\u201d tegasnya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imam Shamsi Ali yang mengaku penggemar sepak bola juga menyoroti kepemimpinan wasit dalam beberapa laga. Ia menyinggung pertandingan Mesir vs Argentina di mana gol ketiga Mesir dianulir, sementara Argentina menang 3-2 di menit akhir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBanyak kesalahan Mesir dihukum, sementara pelanggaran Argentina diabaikan. Ketika pelatih Mesir protes, asistennya diganjar kartu merah,\u201d ungkapnya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ia menilai perayaan petinggi FIFA saat Argentina menang memperkuat dugaan keberpihakan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTersingkirnya tiga tim kuat Afrika: Maroko, Senegal, dan Mesir, ditambah deportasi wasit dan diskriminasi terhadap Timnas Iran, semua mengarah pada dugaan rasisme dan kepentingan politik,\u201d ujarnya.<\/p>\n PORTALUTAMA.NET, NEW YORK \u2013 Perhelatan Piala Dunia 2026 yang digelar di Amerika Serikat, Kanada, dan Meksiko memasuki babak krusial.
