The players affected, including Barcelona defender Gerard Pique, made the discovery after the world and European champions's 2-1 victory over Uruguay on Sunday.

"We know there was a report, a police report and this was being dealt with by the relevant authorities, we have been in touch also with the team," FIFA spokesman Pekka Odriozola told a briefing.

"We are waiting to hear from the authorities. (We) don't have all details. We know there was an incident and the police are investigating."

Mumu, you don't even know the details and you are concluding - even the police are still trying to figure out what happened. How are you sure they don't have people stationed on the floor? FYI, some of the bravest robberies in world history were committed in Brazil .

i've always felt travelling teams should go with their own security; 2 or 3 people to stay in the hotel and prevent these kinds of things

...politically challenged countries like the USA, Israel have their security outfit at every corner and turn. I guess Spain felt they have no enemies.

Spain players robbed last week after strip-poker party

Brazilian website Globoesporte.com is reporting that the money and goods stolen from the Spanish National Team last week in Recife was the result of a strip-poker party gone wrong.

The original robbery claim, leaked to El Mundo Deportivo and confirmed by FIFA, was that six players had money and possessions taken from their rooms following Spain’s 2-1 win over Uruguay on July 16th. Now more details have emerged claiming that the robberies occurred after the players engaged a group of women in some late night partying at the Hotel Golden Tulip Recife Palace.
