Kansas City (Lord Media): England’s football team faced a setback ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026 when their valuable equipment was stolen.
According to authorities, the incident occurred while the team’s gear was being transferred from a pre-tournament camp in Florida to Kansas City. The U.S. state’s prosecution office reported the total value of the stolen items at approximately 18 thousand U.S. dollars.
A case has been filed against two individuals, Mustafa Salik and Irfan Kamal. Court documents reveal that the stolen items included four pairs of football boots, a football, goalkeeper gloves, training kit, and three signed jerseys, totaling around 32 items.
