The Mexican military has reportedly intercepted and brought down an unregistered drone seen flying over South Korea’s training base before their World Cup match with co-hosts Mexico on Friday. <\/b><\/p>\n
South Korea are preparing for the Group A game at their training base in Guadalajara, Mexico, where the drone was spotted during Tuesday’s training session – which prompted fears of spying. <\/p>\n
Manager Hong Myung-bo said at a news conference: “It \u2060did not impact \u200bus significantly, but while we were preparing for the match, that was the most important timing, so what happened was unfortunate.”<\/p>\n
The \u200cintervention was part of a security operation implemented \u200cacross World Cup host cities that involved the co-ordination of thousands of personnel and advanced technology.<\/p>\n
With both Mexico and South Korea opening their World Cup campaigns with three points, Friday’s encounter could go a long way to deciding who tops the group. <\/p>\n
In 2024, Canada’s women’s team was accused of using a drone to spy on a New Zealand training session before their opening match at the Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n
Head coach Bev Priestman was dismissed by Canada Soccer and two coaching staff members were suspended as the 2020 gold medallists were deducted six points. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
