The main topic is the organization and safety of the Gold Cup, the championship of North and Central America and the Caribbean, taking place in Los Angeles amid protests triggered by immigration raids. CONCACAF, the football governing body, emphasizes that the safety and well-being of all participants and fans is their highest priority and that they are in constant communication with local authorities. The protests have caused concern, but organizers promise the tournament will be held in a safe and pleasant environment.
