The Road to 2026: Security, travel, and threat intelligence for the world’s biggest football tournament

As the Americas prepare to host the world’s biggest football tournament in 2026, security, resilience, and travel risk leaders around the world face a fast-moving threat environment that extends well beyond the stadiums. Cyber threats, crowd-related incidents, travel disruption, targeted violence, language barriers, severe weather, and pressure on critical infrastructure will all shape the operational picture. 

Watch this recording of Everbridge in a live executive briefing on the risks and readiness considerations that matter most. Hosted by Adam DeLuca, Director, Risk Intelligence, Everbridge, the webinar featured a regional threat overview from Everbridge analysts Christie Majoros and Christian Robles, covering the evolving landscape across North America and Latin America, and the practical issues global security and continuity teams should be planning for now. 

The session also spotlighted Caitlyn Gillespie, Chief of Meteorology, Everbridge, who examined how weather could affect travel, safety, and operational planning, alongside a special conversation with Soraya Sutherlin, Disaster Management Area Coordinator, Los Angeles County, on what it takes to prepare for complex, high-attendance events under intense public scrutiny.
