Criminal attack on Luis Suárez puts Sporting on high alert | OneFootball

The Colombian national team was the target of a criminal attack during their stay in the United States of America. The national team of Luis Suárez - who recently spoke about a "prize" he received due to Sporting - was on American soil conducting a training camp in preparation for the 2026 World Cup and experienced some moments of panic.

The information is reported by Colombian journalist Ricardo Orrego, from Blog deportivo, a program on Blu Radio. Luis Suárez was in the United States of America, in training with his national team. The South Americans played two preparatory matches, but on a day off between the pair of games, they experienced moments of panic.

Everything escalated when the players of the Colombian national team, including Sporting's striker Luis Suárez, took advantage of the day off to go for a walk and do some shopping. It was at this time that the group of players was pursued by a criminal group, whose objective was to rob the Colombian internationals.

Fortunately for Luis Suárez and the rest of the Sporting player's teammates, the police intervened and resolved the situation without any serious consequences. The situation was described as follows: "Colombians, illegal and undocumented, who apparently are part of a gang of criminals that tried to rob players of the Colombian national team in Fort Lauderdale. With a long history of crimes in the United States."

"Several players went out shopping on their day off from the Colombian camp and went to a nearby shopping center. They bought several iPhones and, when they were heading to a clinic, a player, whose name was not disclosed, reported that they were being followed. The security called the police, intercepted the vehicle on the road, and found weapons, robbery tools, and gloves," the article that reported the situation reads.
