Terror threats during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including suicide bombings targeting Lionel Messi, were revealed through leaked police confidential documents.

The UK's 'The Sun' reported on the 7th (Korean time), citing police confidential documents obtained by Spanish media outlet 'Informacion', stating that "players and referees, including Argentina's national team, endured numerous horrific terror threats during the World Cup." /Photo=The Sun archive

According to the media, the primary terror target was Argentina's national team. Before the group stage match between Argentina and Jordan, a man called Dallas Airport and threatened to attack the stadium with a homemade bomb and an AR-15 rifle. He specifically named Lionel Messi for assassination, vowing to attack players from both teams and police.

Terror threats continued during the Argentina-Egypt match. A terror suspect posted on X (formerly Twitter), "I will enter Atlanta Stadium and blow up Messi with four suicide bombs." During the game, a threatening call reported three bombs installed in trash cans in the stands, triggering a commotion as bomb disposal units and detection dogs searched the entire stadium.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) also became a target. A suspicious man inquired about Ronaldo's accommodation details, prompting an FIFA employee to report him to police. Another extreme fan illegally entered Ronaldo's hotel and attempted to ride the elevator with him before being arrested by police. He testified he only wanted to take selfies.

Furthermore, fans harboring grudges over refereeing decisions issued direct assassination threats against referees and players. The media reported that "François Letexier, the referee for Argentina-Egypt's Round of 16 match, received over 6,000 threatening text messages via personal messaging apps immediately after controversial calls. Additionally, VAR official Willa Delaño also faced assassination threats from Egyptian fans."

Norwegian couple Alexander Sjolund and his wife received death threats for not passing to Erling Haaland during England's quarterfinal match.

Colombia's Jhamilton Campos, who missed a penalty kick, also faced severe threats and could not return home with the national team. The media stated, "Colombia remains extremely sensitive about player safety following the 1994 US World Cup incident where Andres Escobar was murdered by drug cartels after scoring an own goal."

At England's media center, a man wielding a wrench broke in and threatened journalists, prompting the establishment of the highest level of triple security measures. The media reported that "to block potential sniper threats, hotels were fortified with concrete barriers and screens around them. No-fly zones were established to prevent drone attacks, while armed police and private security personnel continuously patrolled outside the training complex."
