As the United States and its partners Canada and Mexico gear up to host the 2026 World Cup, this panel will explore the national security resilience questions, threats, and opportunities facing the three nations ahead of and during the tournament. Discussion will focus on cybersecurity, protecting critical infrastructure, and countering terrorism threats. The panel will explore ways for the United States, Canada, Mexico, and FIFA to enhance coordination and strengthen resilience to withstand potential shocks and respond to disruptions.
