Reports claim FIFA arranged Portugal’s World Cup trip on a Global Crossing Airlines (GlobalX) aircraft identified by tail number N837VA. The plane is alleged to have carried out U.S. deportation-related missions around the same dates—both before and after Portugal’s July 4 flight to Dallas. A Portuguese Football Federation representative said the FIFA-organized travel used multiple airlines during the tournament. The claim has sparked criticism online, with questions raised about FIFA’s airline vetting and links to deportation flights.
