According to FIFA, Infantino is not involved in transportation or security arrangements. The local organizers, FWC26 Canada, handle such matters with authorities. This is not the first time such a request has been denied for Infantino, as New Zealand police also rejected a similar request during the 2023 Women's World Cup.
