Key Findings

• Hosting the World Cup across two countries may cause scheduling and transportation issues.
• Geopolitical tensions–particularly between China and Australia–do exist, but on the whole this World Cup is far less controversial than the Qatar 2022 Men’s World Cup event.
• Scams targeting tourists are likely to occur in downtown areas near stadiums.
• Fraudulent ticketing apps are a near certainty.
• Issues over gender-parity pay with the Men’s World Cup participants could emerge during the games.
• Alcohol-induced crime and disorder are likely.
