Argentinian Fan Faces Jail Time In Qatar After Stripping Off To Celebrate World Cup Win

An Argentina football fan is facing jail time in Qatar, after disobeying the country’s tourism authority rules and conducts.

Naija News reports that the excited female fan was captured on live TV taking off her top in a fiery celebration of Argentina’s victory over France in the 2022 World Cup final on Sunday, December 18, 2022.

Immediately after the penalty kick which sealed the win for Argentina, the cameras panned toward the country’s cheering fans and among them was a blonde fan who had stripped off her clothes.

According to Dailymail, fans were warned ahead of the tournament, that they would be required to respect Qatar’s strict, conservative customs.

The Qatar Tourism Authority stated: “Visitors (men as well as women) are expected to show respect for the local culture by avoiding excessively revealing clothing in public.

“It is generally recommended for men and women to ensure their shoulders and knees are covered.”

In Qatar, women are banned from wearing any revealing outfits such as tight clothing, and from showing any cleavage.

Non-Qatari women are not required to wear the abaya – a long, black robe that covers the figure almost from head to toe.

But, tourists are to ensure that tops cover their midriff and shoulders, while skirts, dresses, and trousers must hide the knees.
