Sao Paulo state's government has announced plans to enhance security measures for the upcoming NFL game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers, set to take place at Sao Paulo’s NeoQuimica Arena on Friday. This decision comes in response to concerns raised by some players regarding safety in Brazil, given the country's high rates of gun violence and crime, particularly in metropolitan Sao Paulo.
The state's public security secretariat revealed that security operations for the game will be closely coordinated with U.S. authorities. To ensure the safety of all involved, hundreds of civilian and military police officers will be deployed for the event, marking the first NFL match to be held in South America.
