The FIFA World Cup semi-final between England and Argentina has been declared a high-risk match by the FBI and local police. Officials met with FIFA to discuss security because of the long rivalry between the two countries. Separate entry gates will be used for England and Argentina supporters, although fans will not be separated inside the stadium. Police have increased security around the Mercedes-Benz Stadium and team hotels in Atlanta. Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni urged fans to see the match as only football. Authorities said extra officers and resources will help keep players, fans, and visitors safe during the semi-final.
