Challange UEFA to remove 2018 World Cup from Russia

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

We are now in the early stages of Euro 2016 and gang violence has been well documented in all types of media coming from the Russian "fans".
The World Cup should not be given to a country with such poor moral ethics as well as its clear disregard for any other cultures.
