“Safety Is Guaranteed” — FIFA Addresses Trump’s Comments on World Cup Host Cities
FIFA has reacted to comments made by U.S. President Donald Trump, following his suggestion to move some World Cup matches between host cities in the United States.
The president expressed concern that some of the selected cities were not safe and suggested relocating the matches to cities he believes have better security.
In response, FIFA released a statement clarifying that safety at all events is guaranteed. “Safety and security are the top priorities at all FIFA events worldwide,” the governing body said in a statement.
“Safety and security are obviously the governments’ responsibility, and they decide what is in the best interest of public safety.
We hope every one of our 16 host cities will be ready to successfully host and fulfil all necessary requirements.”
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
