What the petition asks
On the evidence of the behaviour displayed at the current Euro tournament it will not be safe for Russia to hold the next World Cup for supporting fans from many countries - it should be moved.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for decisions about the hosting of the World Cup. That is the responsibility of FIFA.
