The US State Department has warned that terrorists could target the Catholic Church's World Youth Day in Poland next month.
Around 2.5 million people are expected to attend the event in Krakow, including Pope Francis, from 25-31st July.
Premier has previously reported that Polish authorities had security concerns for World Youth Day, including poor evacuation routes and the presence of Poland's largest river - the Vistula - nearby.
US authorities have also issued warnings for the Euro 2016 football tournament in France starting this month and the Tour de France cycling race.
France is still under a state of emergency after Islamist terrorists murdered 130 and wounded many more in attacks across Paris last year.
They've said they haven't received any specific information of a threat which prompted their warnings, but that countries hosting the events should be on guard.
