Seattle Stadium “No-Drone Zone” During FIFA Matches

Federal officials have issued a warning to drone operators to refrain from flying their devices near Lumen Field, which will temporarily be referred to as Seattle Stadium, as it prepares to host six matches for the FIFA World Cup 2026 over the coming weeks. The advisory aims to ensure the safety and security of the event, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a clear airspace during this high-profile international tournament. Authorities are particularly concerned about recreational drone use, which could pose risks to both players and spectators. The no-drone zone is part of broader efforts to manage air traffic and protect the integrity of the matches.
