This is done through the international police cooperation body, the IPCC.

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

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

"The challenges include terrorism, cyberattacks, drone threats, large audience flows and coordination between three countries and 16 host cities," the police write.
