Robodogs and Black Hawks - How one Mexican city is preparing for the World Cup
Robodogs and Black Hawks: Monterrey’s High-Tech Security Push for the 2026 World Cup
The BBC’s Will Grant visited Monterrey, the capital of Nuevo León in northern Mexico, to observe the extensive security measures being implemented ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. As a key host city, Monterrey will stage four of the tournament’s 13 matches in Mexico.
To ensure safety, the local police force is deploying a formidable array of resources. The operational fleet will include 11 helicopters, two Black Hawk aircraft, and 90 armored vehicles. In a move toward advanced technology, armed robotic dogs will be patrolling the streets, supported by operators monitoring real-time activity across the state from a central command center.
