Help Your Communities Stay Safe During FIFA World Cup 2026™ Activities

Release Date May 20, 2026

WASHINGTON -- FEMA recently published two new toolkits to help spread public safety messaging for FIFA World Cup 2026™, which is expected to attract more than five million international visitors and generate tens of billions of dollars in economic activity over 38 days.

“From fans to first responders, everyone can help make the FIFA World Cup 2026™ safe and memorable. With millions of visitors expected, it is vital that we all know how to prepare and respond,” said FEMA Associate Administrator of the Office of External Affairs, Victoria L. Barton. “Whether you are a state government, a local leader or even a business owner, these toolkits have resources you need to help your community stay safe and prepared. Please use and share them to help keep everyone informed and ready.”

For more than a year, FEMA has been working closely with its partners across the country to keep players, fans and host city residents safe during the events. The toolkits are key resources that anyone can use to share specific, actionable public safety tips. They include key preparedness messaging and sample text for use in social media posts, as well as graphics to increase engagement.
  1. The FIFA World Cup 2026™ Stakeholder Toolkit is intended for local emergency managers, fire or police departments, city officials and faith leaders. Community leaders of all types can use this toolkit to encourage people to stay safe by following these simple steps.
  2. The FIFA World Cup 2026™ Safety Messaging Toolkit for Businesses is intended for private-sector companies across industries. This toolkit includes an overview on business continuity, crisis communications, emergency response and information technology resources.
Both toolkits emphasize five key steps that can help keep you safe during a large event:
  • Have an emergency plan.
  • Follow local guidance during an emergency.
  • Know how to get emergency notifications.
  • Stay hydrated and prepare for weather.
  • Be aware of your surroundings.

FIFA World Cup 2026™: Be Prepared and Stay Safe

​This summer, the United States is hosting the largest and most complex sporting event in U.S. history which will attract millions of fans from across the country and world.

FEMA and its federal interagency partners have worked to ensure state and local partners have the resources they need to protect visitors, communities and event spaces.

If you are attending matches or any other large event or live in a host city, you can take simple steps to stay safe:
  • Be prepared before you go. Monitor news sources from the event city, check local weather conditions, and stay alert for suspicious activity.
  • Check the event venue safety information and rules for bag restrictions or prohibited items, and review guidance on getting to and from the venue safely.
  • Traveling to a new location? Follow local emergency management and other officials, sign up for emergency alerts, or download the FEMA App to get alerts in areas you are visiting if something happens.
  • Stay alert and be aware of your surroundings. Note the location of security staff, medical tents, and exits. Have an exit plan and identify where you would go in an emergency.
  • “See something, say something!” If you see something that doesn’t seem right, say something to local authorities or event staff including threatening or suspicious people, activities or messages or packages or items left unattended.

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency
Released May 27, 2026

An enormous amount of behind-the-scenes coordination is underway to ensure fans, families, and athletes have a safe, seamless, and unforgettable experience. In fact, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has designated all 78 matches with Special Event Assessment Rating (SEAR) Level 1 and 2, underscoring the significance of the event. This is a 240% increase of similarly rated events compared to an average year.

As part of the coordinated DHS-wide preparations, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has been working with partners in the government at all levels and private sector, as well as with states and host cities to strengthen preparedness, sharpen communication, and make sure communities are ready.

A Host City Getting Ready for the Global Stage
CISA’s collaboration with the city of Seattle is just one standout example of how CISA is working with host cities to help ensure all participants can celebrate safely. Through immersive, scenario driven exercises at Lumen Field, and in coordination with the region’s transit system, CISA helped local partners stress test plans, strengthen coordination and operational readiness, and build confidence that fans can enjoy a secure experience while they focus on the game. These collaborative efforts also provided valuable feedback and lessons learned for the stakeholders involved, enabling ongoing improvements to security strategies for future events.

Inside the Lumen Field Full Scale Exercise
A full-scale exercise is a major production, designed to provide a simulated crisis response experience. More than 460 participants from more than 25 organizations navigated a stadium packed with energy, noise, and fast-moving challenges. Participants confronted scenarios that felt straight out of game day — unruly fan behavior, potential pyrotechnic issues, and sudden crowd surges. These situations required split-second decision making and seamless collaboration among public safety officials, stadium operators, transit teams, and first responders. The exercise offered a safe learning environment where participants could refine communication, validate emergency plans, and practice unified decision making under pressure.

Government of Canada
Risk assessment: Importation of infectious disease pathogens related to the 2026 FIFA World Cup
Assessment completed:​ May 1, 2026

Excerpt:

Reason for assessment


Local and provincial public health agencies in Ontario and British Columbia have completed risk assessments to identify priority hazards for planning and surveillance related to FIFA World Cup 2026 (FWC 2026). Their focus ranged from all-hazard risk assessments at the local level (e.g., including environmental hazards, substance use, and injuries), to more specific risk assessments at the provincial level (e.g., focusing on infectious diseases such as foodborne, waterborne, and vaccine-preventable diseases).

In response to interest from partners at the local and provincial levels, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) initiated an assessment of infectious disease importation risks associated with FWC 2026 over and above those already planned for by local and provincial jurisdictions, in order to complement their work.

The purpose of this assessment is to estimate the risk of importation of selected pathogens related to the FWC 2026 matches and associated fan festivals in Toronto and Vancouver. The findings are intended to enhance situational awareness and support public health agencies in the host provinces and regions as they prepare for this major mass gathering event. Broader health security considerations related to FWC 2026 are being examined through security and intelligence partners.

FAA's Safety Plan for FIFA World Cup 2026
Last updated: Thursday, May 28, 2026

​ FIFA World Cup 2026™ is a No Drone Zone

As fans from around the globe gather to celebrate the beautiful game, safety and security remain our top priorities. To ensure a safe environment for all players, attendees, and staff, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and law enforcement have officially designated all FIFA World Cup 2026™ stadiums and surrounding event spaces as strict "No Drone Zones." If you are traveling to the matches, please be aware:
Do not bring a drone to the stadium or any official World Cup events.

What is a "No Drone Zone"?

A "No Drone Zone" means that unauthorized drone flights are strictly prohibited in the designated airspace and surrounding grounds. During major sporting events like the FIFA World Cup™, the FAA implements Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) to limit air travel and secure the airspace. Taking off, landing, or flying a drone within these restricted areas is a serious violation of federal and local regulations


Strict Penalties for Violators

The FAA, in close coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and local law enforcement, will be actively monitoring the airspace. They will utilize federally authorized capabilities to detect, track, and assess any unauthorized drone activity.

Operating a drone inside a restricted World Cup No Drone Zone carries severe consequences. If you fly a drone without authorization, you may face:
  • Fines: Civil penalties up to $75,000 per violation, criminal fines up to $100,000.
  • Confiscation: The FBI is authorized to use specialized mitigation tools to intercept and seize your drone.
  • Criminal Prosecution: Violators may face federal criminal charges and immediate arrest.
The FAA recently launched the Drone Expedited and Targeted Enforcement Response (DETER) initiative to accelerate the identification and enforcement of drone violations. DETER will be used at the World Cup to support enhanced enforcement efforts.

Federal law enforcement is legally authorized to use specialized mitigation tools to address unauthorized drone flights and can take action to move aircraft out of restricted airspace while preserving evidence for potential enforcement action.

​World Cup match-venue restrictions will apply at the following locations:

PAHO supports regional coordination for health security ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026
29 May 2026

Washington, DC, 29 May 2026 (PAHO). The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) continues to support Canada, Mexico, and the United States through the Health Security Working Group, established in 2023 to strengthen preparedness for the FIFA World Cup 2026. The working group includes delegates from the health sector and other national authorities from the three countries, as well as FIFA representatives.

The main objective of the Health Security Working Group is to share information for health planning of high-visibility events and exchange lessons learned. As a large-scale, cross-border event, the FIFA World Cup will test national capacities under the International Health Regulations (2005), requiring close collaboration to detect, assess, and respond to potential public health risks.

The Working Group has held eight meetings between July 2023 and May 2026, alongside a series of technical webinars covering key topics such as lessons learned from previous mega-events, security coordination, event-based surveillance, and mass gatherings preparedness.

In coordination with the 3 host countries, PAHO enhanced surveillance strategy includes a PAHO FIFA World Cup 26™ Daily Report, before, during, and after the tournament. With millions of people expected to travel across borders to attend matches and other public events, strengthened coordination among host countries is essential to help prevent and manage high-impact health events, safeguard the well-being of both visitors and residents, and ensure that host cities are better prepared to respond to any public health emergencies.

On 28 May 2026, PAHO convened an extraordinary meeting of the working group in the context of the World Health Organization’s declaration of a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) related to the Ebola disease epidemic caused by the Bundibugyo virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. This most recent meeting underscored the importance of sustained vigilance, preparedness, and cross-border coordination ahead of the tournament.

A ninth meeting of the Health Security Working Group is planned for September 2026 as a legacy session, where partners will review lessons learned and identify opportunities to further strengthen preparedness and cooperation for future mass gatherings in the Americas.

The Terrorist Threat to the 2026 World Cup
Published May 27, 2026

The Issue

The 2026 World Cup will be the largest sporting event ever held—and a magnet for terrorists of all stripes. Major sporting events have long attracted a range of foreign terrorist groups and domestic extremists looking to bring their grievances to the fore or simply sow death and destruction. The most likely danger to the 2026 World Cup comes from a domestic lone actor or small group striking soft targets around the matches: fan zones, transit corridors, hotel and restaurant districts, and the queues outside stadium gates. The threats facing the tournament are real and diffuse, but so are the countermeasures arrayed against them.

PAHO
International Certification on Infectious Substances shipping strengthens Mexico’s preparedness and response to mass gathering events and public health threats

28 May 2026

Mexico City, May 15, 2026 (PAHO) — As part of regional efforts to prepare for and respond to health emergencies and mass gathering events, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), through the Infectious Harzard Management Unit (IHM),Health Emergencies Department (PHE), conducted two specialized trainings from May 12 to 15, 2026, for WHO/IATA international certification on Safe Transport of Infectious Substances.

The event was held at the facilities of the Institute of Epidemiological Diagnosis and Reference (InDRE), WHO Collaborating Center for Laboratory Biosafety, in coordination with the Mexican Ministry of Health, and brought together 48 professionals from the General Directorate of Epidemiology (DGE), InDRE, State Public Health Laboratories, the Service for the National Health for Food Safety and Food Quality (SENASICA), the Mexico–United States Commission for the Prevention of Foot-and-Mouth Disease, and the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS).
​
The training took place within a strategic context for the region, linked to capacity building in preparation for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted by Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Large-scale international mass gathering events pose a significant challenge to public health systems due to increased population mobility and the potential risk of introducing and spreading infectious diseases. In this context, it is essential to strengthen national capacities to ensure the safe and timely transport of infectious biological samples for diagnostic, and genomic surveillance purposes.

“Preparedness for mass events and public health emergencies requires resilient laboratory systems that are ready to respond to pathogens with pandemic or epidemic potential. This includes having certified and highly trained personnel to ensure the safe and timely transport of infectious biological samples. These capabilities are essential to support surveillance and rapid response to public health threats,” noted Dr. Juliana Leite, a PAHO laboratory specialist.​

​
-snip-
This initiative is part of PAHO’s regional efforts to strengthen the capacities established in the International Health Regulations (IHR 2005), promoting laboratory networks that are safer, more resilient, and better prepared to respond to emerging health threats and events of international concern in the Region of the Americas.​
