Apart from watching it on TV, the Italian public had controversial opinions about the World Cup held in Russia in 2018. For instance, only 80 percent of respondents answering a poll in May 2018 thought that the event was safe for visitors. Less than 60 percent of Italians stated that they believed travelling to Russia for the World Cup was safe.

Public security during the World Cup was doubted and maybe would have discouraged the minor percentage of sport lovers who would travel for important sporting events. However, 46 percent of respondents in the survey stated they would be willing to travel to see soccer matches, overtaking other sports events like car racing or tennis (twelve and eight percent respectively).
