The biggest soccer event of 2026 will be a historic tournament held across 16 cities in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico—the first to span three countries. Kicking off in June, it’s expected to draw over 5 million attendees across 104 matches. With global excitement comes the need for careful planning to ensure health, safety, and security for all.
