World Cup 2026 adopts Israeli drone security and wastewater health monitoring

Israeli security firm Sentrycs has been selected to provide advanced drone‑detection and counter‑measure technology for venues hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America. The deployment reflects Israel's reputation for cutting‑edge security solutions and aims to protect millions of spectators from emerging aerial threats.

An independent health‑surveillance network, coordinated by experts from Georgetown University, is using wastewater analysis to track pathogens such as measles, norovirus, influenza, dengue and chikungunya among visitors. The system offers early warnings of potential outbreaks and highlights weaknesses in the United States public‑health infrastructure ahead of the tournament.
