Russia will host the 2018 FIFA World Cup from 14 June to 15 July 2018 at 12 different venues throughout 11 host cities, and thousands of foreign visitors are expected to travel to the games. With major sporting events increasingly targeted by physical and cyber threats, we believe that FIFA and their affiliates, spectators, athletes, officials, or other attendees are likely to be confronted by a range of security risks such as protests/demonstrations, hooliganism, financial fraud, and to a lesser extent hacktivism, terrorism, and cyber espionage.
