FIFA World Cup 2026

Within Nicholas V. Cusano’s combined professional planning scope across the FIFA World Cup 2026 and FIFA Club World Cup 2025, the World Cup 2026 component comprised approximately 6.8 million spectators in planning scope, 104 matches and 16 venues across the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Nicholas’s professional experience supported crowd modelling and people-movement planning across the spectator journey, including arrival and departure forecasting, ingress, internal circulation, egress, gate-demand analysis, pedestrian-flow simulation, capacity assessment and emergency-egress planning.

The work applied internationally recognized crowd-safety principles and relevant guidance to translate spectator demand into operational decision support.
