World Cup: British Nationals Abroad
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what support the Home Office and British Police Forces are providing (i) the USA, (ii) Mexico and (iii) Canada to ensure the safety of British citizens attending the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Answered by Sarah Jones
During the tournament, a deployment from UK policing will support the host nations. This will include a mobile team working closely with the hosts in cities where the England team plays, engaging with travelling fans, and providing reassurance and advice. Officers will also participate in the International Police Cooperation Centre, the intelligence and coordination hub for tournament policing, to support information sharing and situational awareness.
Policing in Scotland is a devolved matter, and the Scottish Government is responsible for arrangements involving Police Scotland.
