Foxborough Select Board ratifies funding agreement tied to World Cup security at Gillette Stadium
Summary
At its March 12 meeting the Foxborough Select Board moved into executive session to discuss funding for security at the World Cup event at Gillette Stadium and returned to ratify a March 11, 2026 letter agreement from Boston Soccer 2026 covering the funding portion of a license; dollar amounts were not specified in the transcript.
The Foxborough Select Board voted March 12 to ratify a letter agreement from Boston Soccer 2026 covering the funding portion of a license related to security at the World Cup event scheduled at Gillette Stadium, the board said after returning to open session.
Select Board Chair made the motion to enter executive session “to discuss funding of security personnel or strategy with respect to security related to World Cup being held at Gillette Stadium, 1 Patriot Place,” according to the transcript. The board conducted a roll call vote to enter executive session; the transcript records Mark, Billy, Amy and Debbie answering "yes." The transcript does not identify who seconded the motion.
After returning to open session the board said it would vote solely to ratify the funding portion of the license for the open period of March 17, when a related hearing is scheduled. The Chair moved "to acknowledge and accept the letter agreement provided by Boston Soccer 2026 to the Town of Foxborough dated March 11th, 2026," the transcript records. A second was recorded; no seconder name appears in the transcript.
The board called for those in favor and — according to the transcript — heard no opposition, effectively passing the ratification vote. The transcript does not include dollar amounts or a roll-call tally for that vote. The board then moved to adjourn and voted with no opposition recorded in the transcript.
The meeting was broadcast and recorded on Foxborough Cable Access, the board said at the start of the session. The transcript provides no further detail on the contents of the executive session, any contractual dollar amounts, the identity of the seconder(s), or conditions attached to the letter agreement. A hearing connected to the license is scheduled for March 17, per the board’s remarks.
What happened next: the town will proceed to the March 17 hearing noted by the board; the transcript does not specify any reporting timeline or financial figures related to the security funding.
