With 16 host cities and millions of expected visitors, the FIFA World Cup 2026 will be the largest tournament in history. Taking place from June 11 to July 19, 2026, the event will be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico for the first time. To assist travelers and organizations in preparation, Safeture, a leading technology provider for people risk management, and its partner Riskline, a globally recognised travel risk intelligence provider, have launched the FIFA World Cup 2026 Informer.
The new guide is designed to assist anyone traveling to the tournament and organisations managing business travel during that period. It combines current safety analysis with practical travel advice to help make planning safer, smoother, and more efficient.
“The FIFA World Cup 2026 represents a new level of global mobility,” said Marcel Brandt, Chief Sales Officer at Safeture. “With matches spread across three host countries, long travel distances, and different risk environments, preparation becomes especially important. Travelers attending games in multiple cities or countries need to consider much more than kickoff times and tickets. Our Informer helps organizations and travelers plan transportation, accommodations, entry requirements, and safety considerations in a structured and proactive way.”
Comprehensive guidance for safer travel
The FIFA World Cup 2026 Informer covers key elements of trip planning, including:
- Travel logistics: Details on international airports, local transportation options, and entry and visa requirements for all three host countries.
- Security conditions: Evaluations of crime, terrorism threats, protests, and environmental and health issues.
- Practical travel advice: Tips for staying safe in crowded places, avoiding scams, and guidance specifically for women and LGBTQIA+ travelers.
The report also emphasizes transportation infrastructure in key host cities, including New York/New Jersey, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Mexico City, Toronto, and Vancouver. Travelers are given specific guidance on the most relevant airports and transportation routes, the best public transit options for reaching stadiums, and potential traffic congestion, parking shortages, or high demand that may disrupt travel.
Additionally, the guide offers suggestions for a smoother on-the-ground experience, including using reliable transportation services, selecting appropriate accommodations, and preparing for last-minute itinerary adjustments.
Understanding risks to improve preparedness
Riskline’s analysis highlights clear differences among the host countries. While Canada is generally seen as a very safe travel destination, risk levels in the United States can vary greatly by region. Mexico has a higher risk profile in certain areas, especially concerning organized crime. Additionally, protests, severe weather, and natural hazards such as wildfires and earthquakes may affect travel plans.
The guide also highlights common scams related to major global events, such as fake ticket sales, unauthorized booking sites, and fraudulent “World Cup visa” services. Travelers are encouraged to use only official channels and to double-check all bookings.
Proactive preparation is essential
Safeture and Riskline emphasize that a combination of real-time information, reliable risk intelligence, and situational awareness is essential for safely navigating a global event of this scale. For organisations, digital solutions that automate risk monitoring and provide employees with real-time updates can play a critical role in supporting safer travel.
