The World Cup is coming to North America in 2026, spanning 16 cities in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Millions of soccer (football/futbol) fans will be flocking to these games, all converging in shared passion. In today’s world, exceptional experiences such as this are not immune to criminals looking to exploit easy targets; all that energy and excitement can disappear in an instant – a phone stolen, an armed robbery, or a kidnapping attempt made.

Our services will be especially critical in Mexico, where companies and service providers supporting the event face heightened risks of kidnapping, extortion, and other targeted criminal activity.

At the Ackerman Group, we believe security doesn’t mean disrupting the experience. It’s not about armored cars, or fear-based decision making, it’s about preparation and planning, so that your employees, family or loved ones can fully live the World Cup experience with peace of mind.

Specializing in pre-travel training, crisis management planning, executive protection, security assessments and trip planning, our team at the Ackerman Group will help your team prepare for the Cup.

Don’t be an easy target. Let’s talk before the Match.
