🇲🇽 World Cup in Mexico still on track, Infantino reassures fans | OneFootball

Mexico is in the world's spotlight after the violent incidents that erupted in the country following the downfall of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, better known as "El Mencho". One of the questions was: will it remain as a host for the World Cup?

Today, Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, cleared up doubts surrounding this situation and confirmed that the organization of the Aztec lands as a World Cup host remains in place:

"Mexico is a great country, it is a football country and, as in every country in the world, things happen. We do not live on the moon. We have police, authorities who will ensure order and security," he said at an event of the Colombian Football Federation. 

"From my side and from FIFA's side, there is absolute confidence in President Sheinbaum. We know that today they have more important things to do than talk about football, but football is an important part of Mexico."

"We are supporting with all our strength President Sheinbaum, who is an extraordinary person and shares this passion for football. So we continue forward with Mexico and continue forward with what will be a great celebration for Mexico and for the entire world," he emphasized.
