The Kukulcán Plan has been unveiled by the Mexican government as an extensive security initiative designed to safeguard visitors, delegations, and residents during the 2026 FIFA World Cup in three host cities. Lead by Omar García Harfuch, Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, this plan involves a collaborative approach that includes 20 government agencies across federal, state, and municipal levels, as well as coordination with the United States, Canada, and FIFA to facilitate information exchange, operational planning, and timely risk management.

Currently, personnel from the National Guard, Army, and Air Force are undergoing specialized training that encompasses drills and planning exercises to enhance preparedness for potential security challenges during the World Cup. The strategic deployment will focus on key locations, including airports and main highways, ensuring a robust security presence throughout the event.

According to Román Villalvazo, head of the Coordination Center for the 2026 World Cup, nearly 100,000 personnel will be mobilized to secure critical points in the three host cities. These measures are intended to create effective 'security belts' that will encompass the areas most frequented by visitors and participants, thereby promoting a safe environment for the global sporting event.
