FORTALEZA, Brazil (AP) ? The Spanish soccer federation says six of its players were robbed during the first week of the Confederations Cup, but it denies the theft took place at a team party.
The federation, which had previously declined to give specifics, responded with a statement Tuesday after Brazilian media indicated the theft was connected to a team party following a 2-1 victory over Uruguay in Recife nine days ago.
The federation "categorically denies" the reports and called the allegations "damaging to the honor of the players and their family and friends."
Spain faces Italy on Thursday in the Confederations Cup semifinals. It's aiming to reach the final on Sunday and win the only major tournament title it lacks. Spain won the 2010 World Cup and the last two European championships.
