Was South Korea spied on at the World Cup?

The appearance of an unidentified drone on the training ground has put the South Korean national team in the spotlight at the 2026 World Cup.

Drones were seen during the South Korean national team's training session.

According to the BBC , a drone was detected flying over a South Korean training base as the Asian representatives were preparing for their second match against Mexico (June 19). Concerned about tactical espionage, the host country's military quickly intervened and shot down the device.

Speaking at the press conference, head coach Hong Myung-bo expressed his concern: "The incident occurred at the most crucial time of preparation. This is unfortunate, although it hasn't had a major impact on the entire team yet."

Besides security concerns, internal conflicts are also arising within the South Korean national team and with the media. The players have decided to stop giving interviews to the domestic press, except for official commitments as required by FIFA regulations.
