French team claims 'drone' hovered above their training ground at World Cup, Fifa to investigate
France manager Didier Deschamps claims a training session ahead of their opening World Cup game was interrupted by a drone hovering above the pitch.
Deschamps says the unmanned flying machine was spotted above the team's Brazilian base in Ribeirao Preto.
"Apparently drones are used more and more," said Deschamps ahead of his team's Group E match with Honduras in Porto Alegre on Sunday.
"We don't want intrusion into our privacy. It's hard to fight."
Deschamps, a World Cup winner with France in 1998, said world governing body Fifa was investigating after being alerted to the incident.
