Mexico Bolsters Security with 100,000 Personnel Ahead of 2026 World Cup
Mexico is deploying a massive security force of nearly 100,000 personnel to ensure safety during the 2026 World Cup, which it is co-hosting with the United States and Canada.
This move comes amid ongoing violence from drug cartels, particularly in Guadalajara, where much of the tournament action will take place.
Despite the security concerns, FIFA and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum are confident the World Cup will proceed safely and successfully.
