I think we are slowly going to off-topic abyss. One of the things I like about this World Cup, is that is going to be super safe for tourists.
That is debatable. In the previous editions, world cup was held in countries such as Brazil and South Africa. These countries are known for high crime rate, but the event was staged without any major issues. Now I am not sure whether that will be the case with the 2026 edition. There are far more number of matches (104 in total), and this time the event is spread across 3 countries. And gang-related violence is once again making news in Mexico. Even in the United States, there were recent incidents of mass shootings and other gun related violence.
Then it is all about social media. Our TV during World Cup in Brazil quite often showed CCTV footages how people got robbed at the crowded streets, how thefts easily grab their mobile phones, jewellery. How few kids on motorbikes drive to tourists, point gun on them and take all the money. And that all were done during day light on a crowded city street. Cant imagine something like that would happen in New-York. Pull out a gun and in few minutes there will be bunch of police cars, national army, swat, helicopters and B52 with hundreds of bombs. Besides, matches will be held only in 3 Mexico cities, 2 Canadian and 11 US, so the number of crimes imho would be minimum.
