House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.) and Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) announced on May 6 a bipartisan task force to enhance national security for a few major events, such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup, in the United States over the next few years.
In addition to the soccer tournament, the Task Force on Securing the Homeland Amidst Special Events will also focus on next year’s 250th anniversary of America’s independence, the 2025 Ryder Cup, the 2027 NFL Draft, and the 2028 Olympics, which will be in Los Angeles. The draft will be held in Washington, while the golf tournament will be in Farmingdale, New York, in September.
