It has been reported in the media that the passport numbers of members of the England Football squad have been accidentally tweeted out by the team’s official sponsor. The information was included on an official FIFA team sheet, shared with members of the press one hour before the English team played a friendly match against Ecuador at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami.

Unfortunately England’s corporate sponsor Vauxhall clearly didn’t realise that the passport numbers might be sensitive, and excitedly tweeted out a smartphone photo of the line-up to ardent soccer fans. The photograph showed the names, dates of birth, and passport numbers of England’s starting line-up of eleven players and the seven substitutes.

Vauxhall quickly realised its blunder, and deleted its tweet.
