In August, ICTS Italy was contacted by the Italian Football Federation, on behalf of UEFA, to support the UEFA Euro Supercup final in Udine, Italy. The request, which came through Venice Airport, was to provide specialized security services at the Udine stadium.

To meet this need, ICTS Italy deployed a group of certified staff trained in the use of X-ray machines, with colleagues coming from Milan Malpensa, Pisa, and Verona.

From August 10 to 13, our team managed a dedicated access gate for staff, media, and broadcast crews. Over the course of the event, around 4,000 people passed through our checkpoint, with the busiest day being August 13, when Tottenham faced Paris Saint-Germain in the final (PSG won on penalties).

Our efforts did not go unnoticed — the Federation sent us a message of appreciation, recognizing the professionalism and dedication of our team. Following is an excerpt from the message sent to the ICTS Station Manager at Venice Airport: “I would like to reiterate my thanks and those of FIGC for the excellent work done for the event. Thanks to your contribution, we managed to make it a success, with very positive results, so much so that we received widespread satisfaction from local authorities and football officials….Thank you again for your collaboration”.
