Topless World Cup fans not arrested in Qatar, return home safely

Two women celebrated Argentina’s World Cup victory in Qatar by going topless — and emerged without consequence.

Argentina pulled off a frenetic victory over France in the World Cup final in Doha on Sunday, winning in penalty kicks following a 3-3 tie. Two women, who go by Milubarbiie and Noe on Instagram, celebrated the occasion by reveling topless in the stands.

While there had been some concern that the two women risked detainment for violating austere laws against women’s immodesty in Qatar, both indicated on social media that they made it out of the country without incident.

In her Instagram stories, Noe posted a photo of herself on a plane with a caption in Spanish that loosely translates to a joke about hoping the plane would take off “before they come looking for me.”

According to TMZ, Milubarbiie said in a selfie video “that she had made it back to Europe, a place she missed dearly while cheering on Argentina in the soccer tournament.”

They were not the only women who flouted the Qatari rules and avoided harsh discipline. Ivana Knoll, a bikini-clad Croatia fan, did not face any apparent consequences from the country’s law enforcement regime.

As for Milubarbiie and Noe, they will forever remember baring witness to arguably the greatest World Cup final of all-time.
