Planning is underway for the FIFA World Cup! Long before the kickoff, ASPR starts working with our state and local partners as they put plans in place to protect health during the match. ASPR-supported programs, like the Medical Reserve Corps and health care coalitions, are getting ready to provide medical support and help area health care systems surge if there is an emergency during the event.

Planning for the FIFA World Cup isn’t unique. State, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments face similar challenges at many mass gatherings in their communities throughout the year. Using incident management systems for planning and operating these events as “planned emergencies” allows a rapid transition to emergency response should an incident occur.

ASPR provides planning guidance, training and technical assistance, operational coordination, medical surge support, and long-term resilience building to empower SLTT partners to identify, prepare for, mitigate, and respond to threats. ASPR is also prepared to provide support if health care systems become overwhelmed during one of these “planned emergencies.”

Watch ASPR TRACIE’s latest webinar to learn how health care providers, health care coalitions, and Medical Reserve Corps units are preparing for the 2026 World Cup games and related events being planned across the U.S.https://files.asprtracie.hhs.gov/documents/play-to-win-healthcare-and-public-health-preparedness-for-mass-gatherings-webinar-ppt-.pdf
