Miami, US, July 10 (EFE).- FIFA has opened a technology command center in Miami to oversee cybersecurity, stadium operations, and live broadcasts during the World Cup 2026, with officials saying it faces up to 400 million attempted online attacks every day.
Located at FIFA’s headquarters in Coral Gables, Florida, the Technology Command Center (TCC) coordinates operations around the clock during the tournament, jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
«It represents the biggest technological challenge in the history of sport because of the scale of operating across three countries simultaneously,» FIFA’s technology director, Nacho Fresco, told EFE.
According to Fresco, the center detects between 300 million and 400 million attempted cyberattacks each day and works closely with the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to respond to potential threats.
