Argentina has formally transmitted a list of 35,000 individuals who are barred from entering World Cup stadiums to United States law‑enforcement agencies.
A security tool with international reach
The compilation comes from the country’s Tribuna Segura system, a database that flags people with outstanding child‑support obligations, criminal warrants and other infractions as soon as they approach a venue.
Alejandra Monteoliva, Argentina’s Minister of National Security, oversaw the shipment of the data to the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI and partner agencies, emphasizing that the measure is meant to ensure that parents fulfill their financial duties.
Among the names on the list are roughly 13,000 fathers who have fallen behind on child‑support payments, a group that the government says will now be monitored more closely as the tournament approaches.
The initiative marks the first time such a database is being exchanged across borders, and no comparable program exists in the United States, raising questions about privacy and enforcement.
Former NYPD detective Michael Alcazar has praised the list as a valuable tool for tracking offenders, noting that from 2023 to 2025 the system identified more than 1,100 people with outstanding arrest warrants across over 1,300 matches.
