Fifa's stadium and security committee this week also confirmed the dates for the Fifa national security officers' workshops, which are expected to be held in each of the six soccer federations, starting next month.
The committee's chairperson, Junji Ogura, of Japan, said the workshops would start in Cairo next month and end in Miami early next year.
The workshops formed part of Fifa's global security concept, said Ogura.
The global security concept was established by Fifa in 2006, and was introduced to improve security at stadiums to be used for the 2010 Fifa World Cup qualifying rounds.
Ogura said the workshops would involve the national security officers from each of the participating countries, confederation security officers, as well as members of Fifa's stadium and security committee.
"A core focus will be on the implementation of Fifa's safety regulations, which have been in operation since January 1, 2009," said Ogura.
