England's national
football team landed in Kansas City on Saturday to set up their 2026 World Cup
base at Swope Soccer Village.
Thieves broke into
vehicles carrying training gear like boots and balls from Florida, but police
recovered most items quickly after detaining two suspects—no match kits were
lost.
Training starts this afternoon as planned, with fans and Mayor Quinton Lucas welcoming the squad amid local excitement for their tough group opener against Croatia.
