Foxborough will not issue the entertainment license for Gillette Stadium unless organizers secure $7.7 million to cover police details and security for seven scheduled World Cup matches. Massachusetts received just over $47 million of the $625 million in federal funds designated for safety and security across 11 U.S. host cities, with communities able to apply through the state and the Boston host committee overseeing distribution. The town applied for funds but expects delayed reimbursements and an unlikely full award, leaving it unable to advance millions without upfront payment. Discussions have occurred with the stadium owner and event organizers to find an agreement.
