The Threat is Real. The Stakes Are Higher.
FIFA World Cup 2026 will bring unprecedented security challenges to Kansas City. With Arrowhead Stadium hosting multiple matches, practice facilities across Jackson County, and millions of visitors converging on the region, drone threats pose a critical risk to public safety.
Stadium & Venue Security
Arrowhead Stadium and surrounding practice facilities require 24/7 airspace monitoring during FIFA events. Unauthorized drones can disrupt games, conduct surveillance, or worse.
Critical Infrastructure Protection
Kansas City International Airport, KC Streetcar and regional transit hubs, and regional transportation hubs will see record traffic. Drone incursions could cause cascading disruptions across Kansas City.
Public Safety During Mass Gatherings
Fan zones, team hotels, and public viewing areas create soft targets. Law enforcement needs real-time drone detection to respond before incidents occur.
Federal Grant Funding Available
The Department of Homeland Security has allocated significant funding through the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) specifically for FIFA World Cup security. Applications due February 28, 2026.
