Evolv Technology has announced that its Evolv Express solution has been selected by FIFA to help transform the fan experience as they enter the stadium at the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup.
According to the company, Evolv Express provides weapons detection technology and is designed to efficiently screen people as they pass through at their natural walking pace without removing all their personal items.
For 2025, 32 of the world’s best club teams representing the six FIFA confederations (Asia; Africa; Europe; North America, Central America, and Caribbean; Oceania; and South America) are participating.
Express units are in use for fan entry screening at each of the tournament’s 12 host stadiums and for ingress screening at additional sites where participating teams have been training between matches.
In total, more than 100 Express units are being deployed.
The Evolv system is designed to screen visitors effectively while helping minimize congestion and disruptions to traffic flow at entry points.
“We’re honored to be chosen by FIFA for concealed weapons detection at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025,” said John Kedzierski, Evolv’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
“We appreciate the confidence that they are putting into our products and our company to help bolster the tournament’s holistic security operations.
“Security and experience are of paramount importance at an event of this scale and we recognize and embrace the degree of trust implied in the awarding of this critical assignment to be a part of the overall safety plan.
“We look forward to helping to create a great experience for FIFA and the millions of soccer fans from around the world who attend the matches.”
