Emerging story
Videos of a topless football fan at a stadium have gone viral on social media.
The videos were allegedly captured during the World Cup Qatar 2022 after Ecuador scored their first goal against Qatar in the first match.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar has investigated the claim and found it to be misleading.
The video dates back to October 2022 and predates the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
Articles published screenshots from the videos in question, which showed a fan celebrating her team's winning goal by showing her breast.
After Tigres UANL's game-winning penalty against Pachuca in Mexico last October, the woman, later identified as Mexican supporter Carla Garza, lifted her top and showed off her breast.
Her videos quickly went viral. According to The Sun, the Mexican fan responded to the backlash over her "celebration" by launching her own Twitter and Instagram accounts, gaining thousands of followers.
Ecuador vs. Qatar
The claim started to circulate following the opening match that brought together Ecuador and Qatar in the World Cup held for the first time in the Arab world.
Ecuador won 2-0 over the hosts in Group A.
Misbar has addressed dozens of false and misleading claims related to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
