The passport details of every player in Argentina's squad for their pre-World Cup warm-up friendly against Iceland were leaked due to a security oversight on June 10 at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Alabama [1, 2, 3]. These details, including passport numbers, were listed on the official team sheet and should have been blurred before release but were circulated without redaction [1, 2, 3].
Argentina defeated Iceland 3-0 in front of over 88,000 spectators at the stadium [1, 2, 3]. Lionel Messi returned from a hamstring injury to make an impact after coming on as a substitute in the second half, scoring within two minutes [1, 2, 3]. Following a through ball from Messi, Lautaro Martinez was fouled inside the box and won a penalty [1, 2, 3]. Messi calmly converted the penalty to make the score 2-0 and set a new record as Argentina's oldest goalscorer at 38 years and 11 months, surpassing Angel Labruna's mark from 1957 [1, 2, 3].
Argentina will begin their World Cup title defence with a Group J match against Algeria on June 17, 2026 [3].
