World Cup 2026: Czechia faces a problem ahead of South Korea clash

Tonight, Czechia will take on South Korea in their opening match at the 2026 World Cup. But before that, the team encountered a major problem while returning to their training complex.

Indeed, in a video published by ESPN, you can clearly see the team bus coming to a halt after a poorly executed turn on a busy street. According to local media, traffic was paralyzed for an hour in Zapopan, a city near Guadalajara (Mexico), and drivers had to wait until the bus cleared the road before they could proceed.

The players had to complete the rest of the journey on foot to reach their accommodation. Yet another anecdote that shows how this North American tournament stands out from previous editions.
