🚫 The 2026 FIFA World Cup starts June 11, and every U.S. host stadium is a No Drone Zone.

The FAA, FBI, and local law enforcement will actively monitor airspace across all 11 venues using counter-UAS technology.

The penalties are serious:
💰 Civil fines up to $75,000
💰 Criminal fines up to $100,000
🚨 Drone confiscation by the FBI
⚖️ Criminal prosecution and arrest

This applies to every pilot — recreational and commercial. Your Part 107 certificate and authorization do not override an active TFR!

No exceptions.

TFRs can extend well beyond the stadium. If you're flying anywhere near a host city on a match day, check your airspace first.

The FAA recommends checking an approved app, such as AutoPylot, before flying near any host city. It takes seconds.
