Overview

  • Andalucía's security effort involves 3,100 personnel at the MotoGP in Jerez, 7,000 for the Romería in Andújar, and over 1,400 police officers for the Copa del Rey Final in Seville.
  • The Andalusian Emergency Agency is operating at full capacity for the first time, supported by a new digital communications network.
  • Innovative technologies, including Galgus intelligent Wi-Fi, ESAlert mass notifications, drones with thermal cameras, and AI-driven platforms, are being used for real-time crowd and emergency management.
  • Initial incidents at the Jerez MotoGP include 15 medical cases—two requiring hospitalization for trauma and an infarction—and five arrests for alleged assaults.
  • This weekend's events are seen as a critical test of Andalucía's ability to host large-scale gatherings, with negotiations underway to renew the MotoGP contract, which generated over €25 million in economic impact last year.
