Healey announces kickoff of public safety initiative for 2026 World Cup
""I can promise you that this is going to be a safe, secure, and successful World Cup here in Massachusetts," Healey said."
"Healey dubbed the state's public safety initiative 'Match-Ready Massachusetts,' which has been driven by $76 million in federal funds for World Cup security."
"For Thursday's friendly, four 'event trains' will run between South Station and Foxborough Station, Healey said at the press conference."
"Crowd control is also a major concern, as the next few months will bring a nearly non-stop wave of crowd-heavy events to Boston."
A friendly match in Foxborough will serve as a trial for Massachusetts' safety measures ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Governor Maura Healey announced the state's initiative, 'Match-Ready Massachusetts,' supported by $76 million in federal funds. The plan focuses on cybersecurity, emergency preparedness, and public health, with public transportation being a significant challenge. Special event trains will operate, and adjustments will be made to accommodate increased traffic. An official FIFA Fan Festival will also take place at Boston City Hall Plaza during the tournament.
