World Cup

Moroccan fan's Geert Wilders shirt sparks viral buzz before World Cup

🇳🇱
In the bustling streets of Monterrey, a Moroccan supporter drew cameras’ attention by wearing a shirt emblazoned with the name of PVV‑leader and Dutch politician Geert Wilders, just hours before the Netherlands‑Morocco World Cup round‑of‑32 match at Estadio BBVA. The fan’s playful chant and declaration that Wilders was his biggest fan amplified the spectacle. The Oranje‑march, a fan procession that leads supporters to the stadium, featured the shirt. When asked, the fan told De camera, “I have Wilders on my shirt, he is my biggest fan.” He then shouted, “Geert Wilders, I love you!” while dancing through the march, adding his prediction that the match would end 2‑1 in Morocco’s favour. Another participant laughed, “We do a last dance from left to right, but then it’s ‘dima maghreb’,” signalling his support for the Moroccan national side. The Netherlands and Morocco are set to kick off the round‑of‑32 at 03:00 Dutch time, with the fixture staged at Estadio BBVA in Monterrey as part of the 2026 World Cup. The winner will face Canada on Saturday 4 July in the round of 16, while the tournament is co‑hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
