Topless Argentina fans avoid punishment in Qatar despite showing breasts during World Cup final
The significance of the match led to some wild celebrations all throughout. The South American nation defeated France in the final on penalties.
TV viewers caught a woman and her friend flashing their breasts to the camera during those celebrations, which is against the law in Qatar.
Because nudity is illegal in the Gulf state, fans initially had serious concerns for the women’s safety because many believed they would face harsh police action. Before the tournament began, both male and female fans were instructed to keep their shirts on during games and in public.
However, it appears that all worked out okay because the women avoided punishment, and one of them used Instagram to inform her followers on her whereabouts – as well as uploading more videos of herself flashing.
