FIFA City Profiles: access the full library

21.05.2026
The FIFA World Cup will draw huge crowds, tight security and busy cities. Good planning helps you protect your people, your time and your plans.

Major tournaments place extra strain on cities and their infrastructure. Travel times increase, accommodation becomes harder to secure and local conditions can change at short notice, particularly around matchdays. 

Understanding these pressures in advance helps you plan more effectively, reduce avoidable disruption and make informed decisions. That applies whether you are moving staff, hosting clients or managing your own travel during the tournament.

Our 16 city profiles give you clear, practical insight for every host city. They focus on what could affect your journey and how to plan around it. Each report helps you make informed choices, spot issues early and keep travel running smoothly. They are built to support real decisions.

What's covered?

  • City level risk outlook across security and disruption
  • Assessment of transport, crowd and matchday impacts
  • Analysis of health, medical and emergency capacity
  • Actionable guidance to protect travel and operations
