The proclamation President Trump’s signed this week banning travel to the United States by people from a dozen countries makes an exception for athletes, coaches and support staff for “major sporting events,” including the World Cup and the Olympics.
What qualifies as a major sporting event remains to be seen. Mr. Trump’s proclamation declaring the ban, issued on Wednesday, says that the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, will determine which events can receive an exemption.
A host of international sporting events are planned in the United States over the next months and years.
