Planning for World Cup 2026

In 2026, the world’s attention will turn to North America as it hosts one of the largest global soccer tournaments ever staged. With matches taking place across multiple U.S., Canadian and Mexican cities, the event will attract millions of fans, international visitors, and business travellers. For global organisations, this presents both opportunities and risks from congested transport networks and large public gatherings to an increased likelihood of security incidents and communication challenges.

At Vismo, we understand firsthand the complex operational environment such large-scale events create through supporting our clients during major international sporting events such as the Rio and Paris Games, the Asian Games, and topflight football tournaments including the Champions League. Whether your employees are attending matches, managing logistics, providing media coverage, working near a host venue, or playing in the tournament, our platform provides the visibility, communication and response tools needed to safeguard them, before, during, and after the tournament.

During the competition, the operational tempo will increase significantly. Large crowds and changing local security conditions can disrupt transport, communications, and routine business operations. Vismo’s mass notification system - Notify lets security teams send targeted, verified updates within seconds, meaning employees receive accurate, relevant information without delay.
Should a critical incident occur near a host stadium, Vismo’s Locate & Protect App’s panic alert feature allows users to signal for immediate assistance, transmitting both location and situational context to response teams. This capability supports faster, coordinated emergency action and reduces corporate liability.

For organisations supporting dignitaries, VIPs, or international delegations, Vismo’s high accuracy tracking and geotagged incident reporting enhance situational awareness, ensuring movements are secure and contingency plans can be activated in real time.

 Continuing Protection After the Final Match

The security challenges don’t end when the final whistle blows. Post-event travel surges, protest activity, and extended media operations can all create residual risk. Vismo’s Monitor App provides valuable insights into employee movement and response performance, helping organisations to refine their crisis protocols and strengthen overall resilience.
