Boston Soccer 2026 Corp (FWC Boston) is the host city organizing committee responsible for leading the strategic planning and execution of the seven FIFA World Cup 26™ matches awarded to Boston, including the official celebratory events taking place over a 39-day period surrounding the tournament in 2026. We aim to create and deliver memorable and safe experiences that promote the region including its local businesses.
The intent of this Expression of Interest (EOI) is to outline the scope of private security services required to support the successful delivery of the Boston 2026 FIFA World Cup 2026™ in Boston, MA. This includes, but is not limited to, the Boston 26 FIFA Fan Festival and other designated operational sites as identified by the Boston 26 Host Committee.
The intent of this EOI is to identify qualified private security suppliers within Massachusetts and the Greater Boston area with proven capability and demonstrable experience in delivering large-scale event security operations at international sporting, entertainment, or other high-profile public events.
Providers should have a track record in environments including (but not limited to) major tournaments, NCAA Championships, College Football Playoffs, Olympic or Pan American Games, or other mass-gathering events.
Boston 26 Security in collaboration with our FWC B26 public safety partners will be responsible for the provision of private security services at the FIFA™ Fan Festival and other non-competition venues and operational sites within the greater Boston area during the Tournament operational period, estimated from 11 June – 19 July 2026.
These venues will require unarmed, uniformed security guard services which fall into four broad categories: Asset Protection, Event Security, Hospitality Security, and Executive Protection.
It is anticipated that more than one private security firm may be engaged in order to meet the operational requirement across geographically dispersed locations and the operational demand (personnel), but that decision will be assessed after a formal proposal process and evaluation. Each security firm will be solely responsible for all costs incurred in the preparation and presentation of their bid.
