FACT CHECK 

NewsMobile fact-checked the post, and found it to be old.

Running a Reverse Image Search on the keyframes of the video, we found the same video uploaded on YouTube, dated September 24, 2019, with a title: The magnificence of Rajawi’s Palestinian song from the match between Al-Raja and Palestinian Hilal Al-Quds.


The same video had been uploaded by another channel on YouTube in 2019 with a title: “Moroccan Football Fans Show Solidarity with Palestine.

According to the video description, the supporters of Raja Casablanca (Raja CA) expressing solidarity with Palestine during the game between Raja Casablanca and Palestinian team Hilal Al-Quds, in September 2019.

In the video, we can see fans holding the flags of Raja CA.

According to a report by Morocco World News, during a Mohammed VI Arab Champions Cup match, Rajawi fans waved Palestinian flags and held banners in support of Palestine. The game was held in Casablanca’s Mohammed V stadium on September 23, 2019.

Thus, it is clear that the viral video is old and not related to the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
