Preparing for the 2026 Men’s FIFA World Cup with Factal

The image is a map of North America, specifically highlighting the United States, parts of Canada, and Mexico, with color-coded circles indicating locations of proximity alerts related to World Cup sites. The circles vary in size and color, representing different alert frequencies. The map prominently displays cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Toronto, and New York, among others. Larger clusters of circles are noticeable around major cities like Los Angeles and Kansas City. A red cluster is visible in Canada near Toronto. The map is overlaid with a large text box in the upper left corner, and a logo in the lower right corner.

Logistical complexity — and very expensive tickets — makes attending this year’s World Cup particularly challenging already for sports fans. For risk intelligence professionals too, this tournament will push the limits of experience and require a multi-faceted approach. Jalisco is another reminder that incidents can move quickly — as can rumors — and verified information is of critical importance.

Security at the core of Amnesty International’s human rights work

Through Factal’s free NGO program, Amnesty’s security team can cut through the noise and focus only on what truly matters, all backed by a newsroom of experienced journalists verifying information in real time. “I appreciate the effort by the Factal editorial team that goes into monitoring sources that are less easy to access, in languages that are less easy to cover,” says Thomas de Lacoste, Deputy Director of Security at Amnesty International.
