Agencies have seized more than 300 drones near World Cup sites, TSA says

U.S. agencies have seized more than 300 drones near FIFA World Cup sites since play began on June 11, the Transportation Security Administration said. According to the TSA, on match days all aircraft operations, including drones, are prohibited within a radius of three nautical miles and up to 3,000 feet above ground level around the stadiums unless air traffic controllers specifically authorize it. The enforcement actions were reported on June 23. The measure reflects heightened restrictions around major venues during the tournament’s ongoing schedule, limiting unauthorized aerial activity near competition areas.
