A security breach led to the exposure of personal data from the passports of all players in the Argentina squad, including the passport number of star Lionel Messi, before the friendly match against Iceland, held on Tuesday at the Jordan-Hare Stadium in Alabama. The information should have been redacted before being made public, but it was disclosed without protection.

This incident raises questions about the security measures in managing athletes' sensitive information.

Argentina won the match 3-0, with Messi returning to the field after an injury and scoring just two minutes after entering in the second half. The Argentina team will begin its defense of the world champion title with a match in Group J against Algeria, scheduled for Tuesday.
