Hear from @FBIDirectorKash on the successful special event security operations for the World Cup, achieving ZERO major security incidents through proactive security measures by deploying over 5,000 personnel and developing an unprecedented drone program to counter threats.

Via Gianni Infantino Official IG Post: “I wholeheartedly thank Kash Patel, his team and everyone else responsible for the groundbreaking success of the FIFA World Cup 2026! 🇺🇸🙌🙌 This was the biggest, greatest and most successful @FIFAWorldCup and the largest special security event ever held in the United States with almost 4,000 field personnel, almost 800 headquarters and LEGAT personnel, 59 Homeland Security Task Forces, 70 FBI personnel at the International Police Cooperation Centre, with 46 countries represented at the FBI-assembled Joint Operations Centre, and 400 personnel at the FBI’s Intelligence Coordination Centre. Your work in completing 300,000 background checks and seizing over 700 drones from restricted airspace was testament to unprecedented planning and tireless efforts. Hosting and delivering a tournament of such scale, uniting nearly 5.4 million fans in US stadiums and many more across country, delivering 78 matches in 39 days in a joyful, safe, peaceful and festive atmosphere deserves massive recognition and I am thankful to you for that. 👏⚽”

Wow @FBIDirectorKash “We did 78 Super Bowls in 38 days. Along with 40 base camps, where the teams stayed throughout the duration of the world cup. We saw 6.8 million fans shattering the previous @FIFAWorldCup record because the men and women of the FBI stood up their operational center across the country and delivered for the American people.”

For more than six decades, the Cuban regime has been the leading sponsor of radical leftism and Third Worldism in the United States. The State Department is exposing the full history of Cuban espionage and subversion in our country. The American people deserve to know. state.gov/cuba-the-capit…
