Madrid, 24 September 2025.- Prosegur Security, a global leader in private security services, will deploy more than 2,500 security professionals to protect Spanish football teams competing in European tournaments during the 2025-2026 season.

Drawing on its workforce of approximately 35,000 employees across Spain, Prosegur Security operates under its innovative "Hybrid Security" model, which combines human expertise with advanced technology and intelligent data management. The security deployment will cover 18 matches through the end of the first phase in December. Prosegur's teams will work in close coordination with Spain's State Security Forces to identify and mitigate potential threats associated with large-scale sporting events.
“These deployments reinforce our role in the security of large international events, where we incorporate innovative devices adapted to current protection needs,” said José Gil, General Manager of Spain and Portugal at Prosegur Security.

Recognizing the evolving nature of security risks, Prosegur Security has developed adaptable, scalable, and predictive operations designed to handle any unforeseen circumstances. The company implements a comprehensive three-phase security protocol for each match:
- Pre-Event Coordination: Extensive planning sessions with clubs, National and Local Police, and emergency services to develop match-specific security strategies based on risk assessment profiles.
- Event Management: Real-time access control, continuous supervision throughout the match, and coordinated safe evacuation procedures if needed.
- Post-Event Analysis: Thorough incident review and evaluation process with teams to identify areas for improvement and refine future operations.
With operations spanning 14 countries across five continents, Prosegur Security employs more than 110,000 security guards and support staff worldwide. The company views security personnel as the cornerstone of modern protection services, recognizing their daily commitment, professionalism, and adaptability as the driving forces behind the sector's evolution.
The expertise developed in Spain extends internationally through the company's "Hybrid Security" approach. Prosegur Security has successfully coordinated security operations at leading football stadiums in Lisbon, Bogota, Buenos Aires and other major cities, demonstrating a proven global model that adapts to diverse cultural and security contexts.
This extensive experience in managing security for international sporting events positions Prosegur Security as a trusted partner for ensuring the safety and success of European football competitions involving Spanish teams.
