Safety matters, and to keep fans safe, Russia has confiscated 200 passports from soccer hooligans to keep them away from the World Cup. Well, they reached out to 200 soccer hooligans to ask for the passports. Around Europes, 1,900 fans have been given the same order.

These fans, who have been identified as dangerous, will have their passports detained until the end of the tournament. Authorities insist that anyone who fails to comply will get a home visit from the police. Not better way to start your World Cup experience than being arrested! Plus, it means the country can pay less for security at the arenas!
