A special and unusual moment was recorded outside the stadium in Guadalajara, Mexico, showing once again the unique atmosphere that the World Cup creates among fans from all over the world.
A group of South Korean fans were temporarily banned from entering the stadium after alcohol was found in their bags. They had purchased tequila, a traditional drink and one of the most popular in Mexico, the tournament's co-host country.
Instead of the situation becoming tense, it turned into a friendly scene, with Korean and Mexican fans ending up drinking together and celebrating outside the stadium. Footage shows fans exchanging cheers and slogans, in a festive and sporting atmosphere. The event has been described by many as an example of the spirit of the World Cup, where rivalry on the pitch is often replaced by friendship and togetherness off it.
🚨 NEW: The South Korean fans couldn't take their tequila into the stadium, so they started drinking it together, before inviting the Mexican supporters to join in! 🇰🇷🤝 pic.twitter.com/hr85Kp6Yp8
