Former Germany coach Joachim Löw voiced significant concerns regarding the safety of the upcoming World Cup, set to be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. He highlighted the ongoing conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran as a major threat to the event's security.
Speaking to the Cologne Express newspaper, Löw commented on how the political situation overshadows the tournament, remarking on the increased danger posed by hosting in these war-involved countries. Fellow World Cup winner Rainer Bonhof echoed these concerns, suggesting only Canada remains a neutral host among the three.
Despite calls for the German soccer federation to boycott the event, particularly earlier this year before U.S. and Israeli military actions against Iran, the federation has confirmed its commitment to participating. With tensions high, securing the safety of World Cup participants and attendees remains a critical issue.
