 The pride of winning the bid of a World Cup tournament such as the FIFA World Cup that Qatar will host in 2022 comes along with the responsibility for the safety and security of infrastructure and fans. To best plan for the safety and security of spectators, inhabitants and infrastructure, Interpol member countries hosting major sporting events can benefit from global expertise on safety and security. With this perspective, Project Stadia at Interpol General Secretariat has developed the following areas of expertise. The command and control strategy, Project Stadia advises the host countries to set three levels of command and control. The strategic level, for officials with a global responsibility of the whole event. The tactical level, the security managers of a sensitive site in a stadium or an airport, for example. And the operational level, for commanders on the ground such as those managing stewards inside stadiums and those dealing with crowd management and managing the evacuation of a stadium. Project Stadia helps also to identify the best practices required for each of these levels. The creation of a network of subject matter experts. Project Stadia organises experts groups at which experts share their experience on three main themes. Sports legislation experts group to advise legal requirements that are necessary for a major sporting event, for example to frame the use of private security companies. Physical security experts group discusses proven security measures to protect spectators and property from damage or potential attacks. And cyber security experts group which provides guidance on emerging risks and trends in securing the cyber infrastructure and governance frameworks. Border management. Interpol offers a range of tools and services such as stolen and lost travel document to help member countries enhancing their border security measures. Security debriefings. Stadia team interviews officials who have been involved in security of major international sporting events. All best practices and lessons learned will be available in the online Stadia knowledge management system. It will be updated regularly by contributors in sports legislation, physical security and cyber security and content will be validated by subject matter experts. This knowledge will only be available through the secure Interpol network. Thanks to Project Stadia, Interpol is in the process of creating a centralized repository of information on security of major international sporting events which will be a legacy accessible to all Interpol member countries.
