But French media outlet BFMTV is reporting the drone was not Honduran. (Honduras is France’s first opponent on Sunday in a Group E that also includes Switzerland and Ecuador.) The culprit? A hobbyist and fan, flying his unlicensed drone in Brazilian airspace, according to BFMTV. Local police are investigating and are promising a quick resolution.Apparently it didn’t take long for French players and media to figure out there was drone in the sky hovering over the pitch. Even if the drone had been loitering for the entirety of the practise, it’s unlikely it would’ve gone undetected for long. Not to mention, before the closed training session France had several open practises with the opportunity to spy on weaknesses and player fitness.@infosportplus l équipe de France surveiller par un ovni au Brésil lol ( drone ) #AllezLesBleus @equipedefrance pic.twitter.com/RbyHzhid0V
