Michael Hewitt, a 65-year-old England soccer fan, has been found safe in Spain more than 10 days after he vanished while traveling for the World Cup. His family had not heard from him since June 21, triggering a desperate search amid fears for his safety.

Hewitt, pictured smiling in a blue Leeds United polo shirt, was located in a pub, reportedly “blissfully unaware” of the widespread panic and search efforts back home. A separate photo shows him holding an England flag.

His relieved family expressed immense gratitude upon learning he was safe. The incident highlights how quickly a simple communication gap during international travel can escalate into a major concern. Hewitt is now expected to reconnect with loved ones and resume his plans.

This positive outcome brings relief after days of worry for the dedicated soccer supporter.
