The 2024 and 2025 Copa América finals will be held in the U.S. next summer .

Last summer's Copa final in Miami was marred by ticketless fans and security failures.

Authorities say they’ve learned from the incident, which spooked American soccer.

But there are still concerns that the next major international tournaments could be unsafe.

Seven of the World Cup’s 11 U.S. stadiums have hosted Super Bowls . The other four have held a combined 21 NFL conference championships.

The lack of stateside precedent, and the lack of institutional experience with mega soccer tournaments, is “breeding the uncertainty,” one official says.

Experts warn against over-policing, which can backfire or take fun out of the event.

For the 2026 World Cup , within and beyond the 16 host cities, there will also be a vast but unseen network of federal, local and international agencies gathering intel .

In 2026 , information must flow throughout a messy web of police departments, sheriff’s offices, FIFA , security companies and private entities.
