Leaked Dossier Reveals Terror Threat Against Messi at World Cup

During the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a big football tournament held in the United States and Canada, police had to protect players from scary threats.

A leaked police report, published by a Spanish newspaper, showed that the most famous and most threatened player was Lionel Messi from Argentina.

One man called the airport in Dallas and said he and two other men were coming to the stadium with homemade bombs and a gun, mentioning Messi by name.

Another person wrote on social media that he wanted to blow up Messi with four bombs strapped to his body before a game in Atlanta.

Police searched the stadium with bomb experts and dogs after someone said three bombs were hidden in trash cans.

Portugal's star Cristiano Ronaldo was also bothered a lot, and police in Houston arrested a suspicious man near his hotel.

France's Kylian Mbappé received mean messages about his background, and a doll with his face was burned.

Some players got death threats just for making mistakes in games, and even a referee received more than six thousand angry messages.

In the end, security teams from the United States and other countries worked together with the FBI to try to keep everyone safe at the World Cup.
