FIFA World Cup final 2022: Fans spot topless Argentina supporter risking jail as she celebrates win

May 2024 · 2 minute read

After Gonzalo Montiel’s decisive penalty kick, the TV cameras panned to the jubilant Argentina fans.

And one women left nothing to the imagination as she celebrated with her top off.

Football fans risk being slapped with huge fines - or even put behind bars if they flash their figures in Qatar.

Although non-Qatari women don’t need to wear the abaya - the long, black robe – laws dictate their tops must cover their midriff and shoulders, and skirts, dresses and trousers must cover the knees.

Women travelling in to the Arab nation are also banned from wearing any tight clothing, or flashing any cleavage.

And the wives and girlfriends of players were also advised to wear a scarf around their necks in a bid to cover up even further.

Fans were quick to take to social media to point out the topless woman risked arrest due to the nation’s very strict conservative laws.

One fan said: “I spotted her, very brave! she’ll be arrested over there if she’s not careful…”

A second added: “Caught live on TV”.

A third commented: “Best believe I didn’t miss this t**** live on TV”.

The World Cup’s “hottest fan”, former Miss Croatia Ivana Knoll, has previously flouted strict rules as she appeared at games in skimpy outfits.

The game was hailed as one of the best World Cup finals ever after Argentina overcame the French 4-2 on penalties following a 3-3 thriller.

The South Americans started the better side as Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria scored in the first half.

France and Kylian Mbappe hit back in the second half as the PSG forward netted a crucial brace to send the game to extra time.

Messi and Mbappe directed fist-pumps at each other after their respective goals.

The Argentine captain had thought he had won the game in extra time before Mbappe had one more chance from the spot after Montiel handled the ball in the box.
