TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said it will deploy a system to detect and disable drones at all facilities related to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
As reported by ANTARA, the FBI said it is also prioritizing anti-drone system (C-UAS) capabilities as part of our preparations. The FBI has been working with federal partners and law enforcement in host cities to ensure detection, tracking, and mitigation facilities are in place at each location.
Protecting the airspace above World Cup venues is “as important as protecting the ground,” the agency said.
In late May, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that it, along with the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice, would impose temporary flight restrictions over stadiums hosting matches for the 2026 World Cup, as well as over other fan hubs across the U.S.
The U.S. Secret Service, in early June, said that primary responsibility for the security of World Cup spectators rests with host city and state authorities.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to 19. In the U.S., the 2026 World Cup will be held in 11 cities.
