US Event Security & World Football (Soccer): Are we fully prepared?
Recent security incidents at the CONMEBOL Copa America 2024 final and semifinal have sparked concerns about crowd management in the US.
In Miami, FL, over 7,000 non-ticketed fans caused chaos and overran gates leading to crowd crushing. Another, at Bank Of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC, Uruguay players faced security issues trying to fight fans. These events underscore the importance of refining crowd management techniques to ensure safety during the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026™ - Canada, Mexico and the United States.
The energy and excitement World Football (Soccer) brings also has its unique challenges for US Event Security Teams and law enforcement. Looking forward, it is essential to glean lessons from these incidents and bolster our readiness to manage large-scale events effectively.
