Hooligans not on Infantino's radar

FIFA president Gianni Infantino said on Thursday he was not worried about hooliganism at next year's Russia World Cup, amid growing fears the tournament could be blighted by fan violence.

Speaking in Qatar following a FIFA executive summit meeting, Infantino also said that soccer's governing body has not asked Russian Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Mutko to resign as the tournament's chief organizer.

"I am not concerned about trouble and violence in 2018," Infantino said on the sidelines of the meeting.
