Bundestag Deputy: Germany is concerned about Russia hosting the 2018 World Cup
The Chairman of the SPD Parliamentary Group in the Bundestag, Thomas Oppermann, stated that Germany is concerned about the behavior of Russian fans during the upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup that will be hosted by Russia, Deutsche Welle reported.
“Russia, as a future host country to the FIFA World Cup was disgraced from head to foot. Bullies from Russia became the heroes of the headlines and even received applause from Moscow after the fights,” Oppermann said.
According to him, the International Federation of Association Football should deliver a clear message to Russia that something has to change. Visible steps should be taken to ensure peaceful FIFA World Cup so that fans and visitors would feel welcome in Russia in 2018.
