In ontwikkelingVolgende controle op : Confirmation that the FBI formally closed its tournament security operation and issued its closing results.

Stand van zaken

The FBI reported zero major security incidents at the 2026 World Cup after deploying about 5,000 personnel across 11 venues over 16 months; more than 700 unauthorized drones were seized. The operation’s costs and results remain part of the charter, and the reports do not say it has closed.

      • The specific number of FBI personnel deployed, the duration of the deployment, the count of mobile command centers, the number of intelligence reports disseminated, and the existence of a counter-UAS drone school at Redstone Arsenal are not confirmed by the available sources.
      • The final, reconciled attendance figure; sources here support 6.5 million, while other accounts reach "nearly 7 million."
      • Whether the 78-match figure or the 104-match figure is the correct total, or whether the FBI's "78 Super Bowls" line is a security-load metaphor rather than a literal match count.
      • The eventual disposition of the 350-plus drone-pilot cases now in federal hands.
