Members of the Green and Yellow Movement extended a flag in the shape of a T-shirt in the Brazilian stands in the game against Switzerland on Monday night (28) in Qatar. The fabric rose during the national anthem.
The flag differs from the size authorized by FIFA, but members of the organized crowd said they had authorization from the organization to enter the stadium. The size allowed by the entity is up to 2 m by 1.5 m.
The crowd also performed a dance with tracks with the name of the movement, in addition to having a battery located behind goalkeeper Alisson in the first half of the match.
Screams that fill the stadium, chants and a green and yellow mass is what characterizes the game that takes place at stadium 974, in Doha, the capital of Qatar. Swiss fans are a minority. It is the second game in the group stage for the team led by Tite.
The team still faces Cameroon next Friday (2). THE Sheet contacted Fifa to understand the procedure to hang the flag in the stands and confirm if there was authorization, but had no response until the publication of this text.
