AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoWorld Cup 2026 (England): England’s World Cup build-up in Kansas City has been hit by two major shocks: a tornado warning forced the squad to shelter indoors at their Swope Soccer Village base, while police also moved fast after a “heist” in transit from Florida, charging two men over stolen training gear worth about US$18,000. Prosecutors say items included boots, balls, goalkeeper gloves, signed shirts, and even two stuffed lions and a Lego set; most gear has been recovered ahead of England’s Group L opener vs Croatia. Croatia Tourism & Sport: Croatia premiered its new tourism promo “Croatia – I Hear It’s Beautiful” at the national team’s World Cup training camp, starring actor John Malkovich, with the film taking a humorous, guide-led tour through places including Dubrovnik, Split, Zagreb and Krka. Local Zagreb/Regional Travel: Central Dalmatia tourism is running ahead of last year, with a reported 3% rise in early-year activity and strong airport traffic through Split, driven largely by UK and US visitors. England Squad Talk: Ex-England striker Gary Lineker questioned Thomas Tuchel’s squad choices, calling some omissions “baffling,” as England continues preparations for Croatia.
