South Korea's national team encountered an unusual situation during a closed training session in Mexico ahead of its upcoming World Cup clash with the host nation.According to the Korean Football Association, an unidentified drone was spotted flying over the team's practice at the Chivas Valle Verde training complex in Zapopan on June 17. The session was being held behind closed doors as preparations intensified for the match against Mexico on June 19.🚨🇰🇷 A DRONE was SHOT DOWN by Mexico’s National Guard after it was spotted flying over South Korea’s training session.The Federation of the Asian team has already filed a formal complaint with FIFA over possible espionage ahead of the match against Mexico. 🤯Via @ClaroSports pic.twitter.com/AP8QFfEPol— All Fútbol MX 🇲🇽 (@AllFutbolMX) June 17, 2026 The aircraft was detected shortly after training got underway. Security personnel immediately notified a military unit responsible for drone surveillance, which responded by deploying signal-jamming technology. The drone was subsequently forced to the ground.Local police, military officers, and members of the team's security staff rushed to the crash site. Although two individuals believed to be operating the drone were seen nearby, they managed to leave before authorities could detain them.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Despite their escape, team officials revealed that surveillance footage captured the suspects retrieving the drone after it went down, potentially providing investigators with valuable evidence to identify them.Commenting on the incident, a team representative said, "Cases of unauthorized drones being found at overseas training camps do occur from time to time," adding, "Most were driven by public curiosity or for personal filming."The official also noted, "However, this time, two men recovered the aircraft very quickly right after it crashed and left the scene, so it is hard to conclude whether it was to assess the team's strength, whether they were foreign media personnel, or just civilians."🇰🇷😳 South Korean defender Shin Min-ha has gone viral again for his absolutely brutal training routine designed to improve his physical duels. pic.twitter.com/HrfxapmG5j— Football Tweet ⚽ (@Footballtweet) June 16, 2026 The matter has since been reported to FIFA.
