In the magnificent final of the FIFA 2026 World Cup, Spain and Argentina faced off, and the scenes that emerged after the match were as much a global talking point as the football played on the field.
SHARP SHOOTER ON THE STADIUM ROOF
A video shot at the stadium hosting the grand final, which surfaced on social media days later, sparked great curiosity among football fans. The footage showing a sniper positioned on the stadium roof went viral in no time. Thousands of users who saw the video began asking, "What is that man doing there?" and "Is such a precaution necessary at a football match?"
SECURITY EXPERTS SAY THIS IS NORMAL
Security experts, however, state that this situation is not surprising. In major events like the World Cup final, watched by billions of people, with high-level statesmen and world-renowned figures in the stands, high-level protocol security measures are implemented. Snipers are deployed on rooftops as a standard part of a "high-level protection" strategy against potential terrorist, drone, or aerial threats.
