The passport numbers of England’s squad were published in an astonishing security breach at the Sun Life Stadium.

An hour before Roy Hodgson’s squad played their friendly against Ecuador in Miami, the team sheets were passed around the press box as usual.

The one difference this time was that the list included the passport numbers of every player in the England and Ecuador squads. Within minutes, the passport numbers were being published on social media.

In a further breach to security, the signatures of Frank Lampard, who signed off the list, and the director of England team operations Michelle Farrar, were published.

The Football Association is aware of the situation and it hopes the error will not be repeated when England take on Honduras at the same stadium on Saturday.

An FA spokesperson said: “It is a matter for the match organisers – the publication and distribution of the team sheets are their responsibility.”
