flag Boston’s World Cup games may be canceled unless security costs are resolved by March 17.

flag Boston’s World Cup games at Gillette Stadium are at risk due to a dispute over $7.8 million in security costs, which Foxborough, the host town, refuses to pay, citing financial strain. flag The town, with just 18,000 residents, says the burden would consume over half its usual public safety budget. flag Despite expected economic benefits of over $1 billion, neither Boston’s host committee nor stadium owner Robert Kraft has pledged funding. flag A March 17 deadline looms, after which securing infrastructure becomes impossible before the June tournament. flag A federal grant is being pursued but not yet secured, leaving the games’ future uncertain.
