KANSAS CITY, Missouri, June 19 : Kansas City on Friday sought to reassure fans after the smallest U.S. World Cup host city had plenty of action off the pitch in recent weeks, from a highway shooting and severe weather warnings to transport disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Midwestern hub, hosting six matches including a quarter-final, has found itself juggling more than soccer as it also serves as a base for Argentina, England, the Netherlands and Algeria, drawing thousands of fans into the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I think overall it’s been a great, safe experience here in Kansas City. We look forward to that continuing,” Pam Kramer, the chief executive of KC2026, a non-profit overseeing the city’s strategy, told Reuters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kansas City, whose metropolitan area is home to 2.5 million people, emerged as a World Cup hotspot thanks to world-class training facilities and a central location that made it a natural choice for teams wanting to limit travel times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
