Prosecutor Theodore N. Stephens II is reminding county residents and visitors that all FIFA World Cup 2026 match venues and fan-related events will be designated as strict “No Drone Zones”. Unauthorized drone use near stadiums is illegal and poses serious safety risks. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will enforce Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) during all matches and fan festivals.
Violators face significant penalties, including fines up to $100,000, criminal charges, possible imprisonment, and confiscation of their drone.
Residents are encouraged to report suspicious drone activity to local law enforcement, call 911 in the event of an emergency, or call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
