Saudi Arabia

This Saudi soccer enthusiast dared to flaunt her patriotic pride with a floral-embellished coiffure and a national flag painted on her cheek. Her fervent support was in vain as the Green Falcons suffered a devastating loss to Russia in the opening match of the 2018 World Cup at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium.

The defeat was swift and merciless, with the opposing team scoring a goal 12 minutes into the game, ultimately leading to a crushing 5-0 defeat. Fortunately, they qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2022 and lost in Group C’s third game to Mexico, but they had a life-changing moment when they beat Argentina 2-1.
