Florida Republican lawmakers pressed the Biden administration to step up funding for security and logistical preparations for the 2026 World Cup games to be played in US cities, including Miami.
Representatives Mario Díaz-Balart, María Elvira Salazar, and Carlos Giménez, all Miami-area Republicans, criticized the administration’s request in the 2025 budget for World Cup preparations as “meager.” They identified $16 million for the Secret Service and $800,000 for the Department of Homeland Security’s intelligence operations.
