World Cup: The passport numbers of England's squad were published at Sun Life Stadium

Thursday, June 05, 2014 by Sky Sport


Frank Lampard: His signature was published

The passport numbers of England's squad were published in an astonishing security breach at the Sun Life Stadium.

An hour before Roy Hodgson's squad kicked off their friendly against Ecuador in Miami, the team sheets were passed around the press box as per usual.

The one difference this time was that the team list handed around the media included the passport numbers of every player in the England and Ecuador squads.

Within minutes of the team sheets being handed around, the passport numbers were being published on social media.

In a further breach to security, the signatures of Frank Lampard, who signed off the list, and director of England team operations Michelle Farrar, were published.

The Football Association is aware of the situation and it hopes the error will not be repeated when England take on Honduras at the same stadium on Saturday.

An FA spokesman said: "It is a matter for the match organisers, the publication and distribution of the team sheets are their responsibility."
