Infantino breaks the silence and focuses on Mexico months before the World Cup
FIFA President Gianni Infantino referred this Tuesday, February 24, in Barranquilla to the complex public order situation that Mexico is going through, a country that will be one of the host cities for the World Cup that begins in June. His statements come amid the shock generated after the murder of one of the country's most feared drug traffickers, known as 'El Mencho,' an event that has intensified episodes of violence in various regions.
