Security did not let the Spanish national team player into the hotel for the World Cup

The security of the Spanish national team base in Tennessee (USA) refused to allow Borja Iglesias, a national football team player, to enter the territory. This was announced on June 19 by the Yahoo Sports portal.

It is noted that the player approached the checkpoint and tried to go inside, but the security staff did not recognize the athlete.

"I'm a striker for the national team, I need to get there," Iglesias told the guards, but the security guards refused him access anyway.

As a result, the player had to call the administrator of the Spanish national team. The player was allowed to enter the base only after a team representative personally approached the entrance and confirmed the identity of the forward.
