48 teams are to compete for the ultimate prize for the first time, hence security ought to be tight to avoid any kind of attack.
USA president Donald Trump has revealed that any city that will be deemed unfit in terms of security will not be allowed to host the competition.
“It will be safe for the World Cup,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “If I think it isn’t safe, we’ll move it to a different city.”
He continued, “If any city we think is going to be even a little bit dangerous for the World Cup, or for the Olympics, but for the World Cup in particular, because they’re playing in so many cities, we won’t allow it to go. We’ll move it around a little bit”.
