Topless Argentina fan who flashed during World Cup final escapes punishment in Qatar

The topless Argentina fan who flashed her breasts during the World Cup final has seemingly escaped punishment in Qatar.

During various television broadcasts of the final between Argentina and France, eagle-eyed viewers noticed a woman and her friend appearing to flash the camera during the wild celebrations.

Footage of their act flooded social media, one person tweeting: “I spotted her, very brave! she’ll be arrested over there if she’s not careful.”

With nudity being criminalised in the Gulf state, fans initially held grave fears for the woman's safety as many thought she'd face serious police action.

But it turns out she has managed to duck any sanction, taking to Instagram to update her followers on her whereabouts – as well as upload more videos of herself flashing.

Initial reports from The Sun suggested 'there was no sign of the supporter' after she was escorted from the stadium by security.

But the morning after Argentina's heroics, the woman - named Noe - surfaced and began sharing various clips from the previous day's celebrations.

She also shared screenshots of the countless news articles on her exploits.

Heading into the tournament, women were warned of the Arab nation's strict rules around dress code and the threat of jail time if those laws were broken.

Although non-Qatari women weren't required to wear the traditional abaya robe, those travelling around the region were banned from wearing any tight clothing and must have their shoulders and knees covered at all times.

So if you're going by the book, whether you agree with it or not, Noe's actions did break the laws in Qatar – which is why there were mounting fears over her whereabouts.

Thankfully, she's alright.

An article by Outkick read: "After an examination of their social media feeds, OutKick can report that the Qatar government not only allowed the ladies to walk out of Lusail Stadium after the flashing incident, but they didn’t even arrest the ladies after they flashed fans OUTSIDE the stadium."
