The work is carried out through the police's international cooperation body, the IPCC.

"Through our participation in the IPCC, we contribute Swedish experiences while gaining access to important information and international situational awareness," says Thérese Rosengren, section chief at the police's national department, Noa, on the police website.

In a message to TT, the police write that they do not want to say how many Swedish police officers are stationed at the center in the US, but make clear that those officers "will not work in any form of external service."

The Swedish police will stay as long as Sweden remains in the World Cup.

The police write on their website that the World Cup is expected to be one of the most complex security operations ever carried out in connection with a football championship.
