Boston is setting up a special events command center in the Seaport to help coordinate security for the 2026 World Cup and Sail Boston.

Mayor Michelle Wu said Thursday that Boston Police, Fire, and EMS will share resources at the center on Channel Street. The hub will be fully active on World Cup match days. It will also be used for the Tall Ships return to Boston and America 250 celebrations this summer. The events are expected to draw hundreds of thousands of visitors to the city.

"We are ready to welcome the world," Wu said. "There will be a lot of people coming from a lot of different places around the world this summer. But in some ways it's not that different from the Boston Marathon and what happens every single year in Boston."
