Ahead of the opening match in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the England soccer team faced an unexpected problem when the team’s training equipment was stolen in Kansas City.
According to British media, at the Swope Sacristy in Kansas City, a vehicle transporting players’ equipment was broken into and stolen, possibly including the players’ training shoes and footballs.
British media say that the Football Association is trying to find out the details of the stolen goods.
According to the British report, before the arrival of this team, their equipment had to be delivered to Kansas City and the coach and players of the England team will also arrive in Kansas City on Saturday.
The British media has reported that the police are in contact with the Football Association and are looking into this matter, and two people have been arrested on suspicion of football theft.
British media say the theft of the equipment could affect England’s preparations for the match against Croatia, who will have their first training session on Sunday.
