A deployment of 10,000 personnel and a four-ring security system will mark the visit of Pope Leo XIV to the city of Buenos Aires between November 8 and 11, 2026, according to the portal Todo Noticias.

According to the information published by the outlet, the operation is coordinated through a joint command that includes the participation of the national government, the city and the province of Buenos Aires. The first security ring will be made up of federal forces, representatives of the Vatican and the Gendarmería of that state, while the other tiers will be structured to guarantee control of the event.

Among the planned activities, the pontiff will celebrate Mass on November 9 at the Monumento de los Españoles, in the Palermo neighborhood, an area that, according to official estimates, is preparing to receive a crowd of close to one million people on Avenida Libertador.

The logistical and operational plan also includes the participation of various agencies of the city government, including security personnel, its own space staff, hygiene, firefighters, traffic and the assistance of the SAME system, with health posts distributed across the areas of concentration.
