The technology will scan faces at entrances, track movement inside venues and flag suspicious behavior in real time. Organisers say the systems are meant to deter threats and streamline ticket checks.\n\nThe rollout raises privacy concerns because the data will be collected by private firms and shared with law‑enforcement agencies. Critics argue that the sheer scale of monitoring could set a precedent for permanent surveillance at large public events.\n\nFor now, fans will have to decide whether the promised safety is worth the loss of anonymity in the stands.","[\"soccer\",\"surveillance\",\"biometrics\"]","2026-06-10T10:00:00.000Z","2026-06-10T10:37:42.609Z","2026-06-10T10:37:49.435Z","published",null,[24,30,34],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Add concrete details (specific vendors, numbers of cameras, dates of installation, official statements), cite sources beyond a generic Wired piece, and explain why this matters to readers with evidence.","resolved",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"Add concrete specifics (e.g., exact number of cameras, venues, sponsor statements, official dates) and cite additional reliable sources beyond a single Wired piece to substantiate the claims.",{"id":35,"reviewer":26,"round":36,"reason":37,"status":29},"editor-r3",3,"Add more concrete specifics (e.g., total number of cameras, exact venues, sponsor\u002Fgovernment statements) and cite additional reliable sources beyond the single Wired article to substantiate the claims.","https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.xyz.onl\u002Farticle-images\u002Fworld-cup-venues-deploy-extensive-biometric-surveillance.webp",[40,41,42],"soccer","surveillance","biometrics",[44],{"name":45,"url":46},"Wired","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.wired.com\u002Fstory\u002Fsoccer-world-cup-biometric-surveillance\u002F",0]
