Football fans are anxiously watching the poor criminal situation in the USA.

Following the widely publicized crime – the murder of political activist Charlie Kirk – calls have emerged on social media for the states to be stripped of the right to host the 2026 World Cup, leaving only Canada and Mexico as organizers.

English experts emphasize that in the USA alone, the number of murders using firearms reached 47 thousand in 2023.

For their part, US representatives promise to do everything possible to ensure that the football fiesta and the 2028 Olympic Games take place smoothly.

Event locations will be surrounded by circular security zones, special permits will be in place, and people's bags will be checked. Efforts will also be made to avoid criminals in city centers, fan zones, and transportation points.
