North Texas Unfazed by Federal Funding Delay for FIFA World Cup

Despite a holdup in federal security funding for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, North Texas officials remain undeterred. With matches at AT&T Stadium in Arlington and events across the region, the delay is not slowing down preparations. The issue stems from a partial shutdown at the Department of Homeland Security, but Dallas police leaders, including Assistant Chief Mark Villarreal, dismiss it as a non-factor. The North Texas FIFA World Cup Organizing Committee is coordinating safety measures, expecting hundreds of thousands of visitors, and is committed to a secure experience for fans.
