FBI Director Kash Patel has said the United States recorded no major security incidents during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, describing the tournament as the largest sporting event in history and the biggest single-event security deployment ever undertaken by the bureau.In a post shared on X on Monday, Patel credited President Donald Trump’s administration, the FBI, and federal, state and local partners for what he described as a successful security operation spanning the month-long tournament.According to Patel, “The 2026 FIFA World Cup was the largest sporting event in the history of the world, shattering previous attendance record by double digits. America- we got it done, ZERO major security incidents across our nation while we hosted the equivalent of 78 super bowls in 38 days, along with 40 base camps, endless fan zones, and celebrations in nearly every state.”He added, “President Trump promised his administration would deliver the most safe, secure, and fun environment for FIFA. He started by establishing the White House FIFA Task Force some 16 months ago, and we got right to work.”Patel said the FBI deployed nearly 5,000 personnel across its headquarters, field and international offices in support of security operations across the tournament’s 16 host cities.According to him, “This FBI led the charge dedicating nearly 5,000 personnel to the effort out of HQ, field, and international offices – across 16 host cities. And, none of what we accomplished is possible without our federal, state and local partners who all put in the same relentless effort. It’s the largest resource dedication the FBI has EVER made for a any event.”He said the bureau established multiple coordination centres to facilitate intelligence gathering and information sharing during the competition.Related NewsI lost N5m to betting, Destiny Etiko says after World Cup finalSoldiers arrest six terrorist logistic suppliers in N’EastTeen dies, several injured during Spain World Cup celebrationsPatel stated, “This FBI stood up a Joint Ops Center, International Police Coordination Center, Intelligence Coordination Center, and more – all from scratch- to collect and share intel in live time.”He also highlighted the FBI’s counter-drone efforts during the tournament.According to Patel, “We established the first ever counter-UAS drone school, training members of law enforcement from across the country for the World Cup- we seized over 700 drones near FIFA airspace.”Patel added that security operations also covered several other major events taking place during the same period.He wrote, “Whether it was UFC 250, SAIL 250, State Fair 250 or so many other events happening simultaneously- we DELIVERED the safest and most secure World Cup in history.”Concluding the post, Patel praised the president and partner agencies, saying, “President Trump’s leadership set the course, he led the way, and this FBI and our partners rose to the challenge- thanks to all our partners, @FIFA @DHSgov @WHTaskForceFIFA and their Director Andrew Giuliani.” In a post shared on X on Monday, Patel credited President Donald Trump’s administration, the FBI, and federal, state and local partners for what he described as a successful security operation spanning the month-long tournament.According to Patel, “The 2026 FIFA World Cup was the largest sporting event in the history of the world, shattering previous attendance record by double digits.
