Lamine Yamal Shops Unnoticed in Georgia Ahead of Spain's World Cup Opener
Spain star Lamine Yamal posted an Instagram clip of himself shopping at Walmart in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, just before the team’s World Cup opener against Cape Verde. The footage, published by Sport 5 on June 12, 2026 at 21:30, showed him loading items without drawing much attention despite his status as one of the tournament’s biggest names.
The article says the store is about 30 kilometers from Spain’s training camp in Chattanooga, making the outing a brief trip during the team’s stay in the United States. Yamal, who turns 19 next month, was described as moving around the large shopping area with little or no disruption, in a scene the piece suggests could happen only in America.
Yamal is hoping to be fit for Spain’s opening match against Cape Verde in Atlanta on June 15. After that, the European champions are scheduled to face Saudi Arabia and Uruguay.
