The Colombian National Team was in the United States for friendly matches in preparation for the World Cup, but their stay was not as peaceful as expected. According to Colombian journalist Ricardo Orrego, from Blog deportivo, a program on Blu Radio, during a day off between matches, some players were chased by a gang after returning from a shopping trip.
Something worse did not happen because local security intervened before the attack and arrested the suspects. In the investigation, it was concluded that two of the three members of the criminal group were Colombians staying illegally in the North American country.
“Colombians, illegal and undocumented, who apparently are part of a gang of criminals that tried to rob players from the Colombian national team in Fort Lauderdale (a city near Miami). With a long history of crimes in the United States.”
The names of the players targeted in the attack are not known. All have already returned to their respective clubs.
During the friendlies, Colombia beat New Zealand 2-1 and then Australia 3-0.
