WARNING, PARTIAL NUDITY: Video footage shows how two Argentinian fans went viral after celebrating their country’s victory in the World Cup final by ripping their tops off and exposing their breasts
The identities of two Argentinian fans who made headlines around the world for celebrating topless to mark their country’s victory in the World Cup final have been revealed.
Seconds after Gonzalo Montiel’s winning penalty in the shootout against France in Qatar, cameras panned to a section of Argentina supporters in the crowd and caught a blonde woman jumping up and down with her top off.
The woman, Noemi Gomez, aka ‘Noe’, who models for Argentinian retail brand Destino Pink, pulled the stunt with a fellow Argentina fan Milu Barbiie, who goes by the name ‘La Chica del Topless’ (the Topless Girl) on Instagram.
More topless footage of Noe and the suggestion she was escorted out of Lusail Stadium by officials on Sunday night had fans fearing for her safety and whether she would end up in jail.
But Noe and her perky pal Milu have confirmed they are safe and well – detailing how they pulled off the outrageous and risky stunt in ultra-conservative Qatar.
Both girls had Argentina flags painted across their breasts, and footage of two lucky men applying the blue and white paint in a hotel room before the game is currently live on their Instagram stories.
“Thanks to the guys at @facepaintingfans for supporting this madness and painting us,” Gomez wrote, captioning a photo of her giggling as her nipples are dabbed with paint-soaked sponges.
‘La chica del topless’ posted a similar photo, writing: “The moment before when we knew we were going to be champions and we were preparing to celebrate the world cup as it should be celebrated.”
Before the tournament, fans were warned to respect Qatar’s strict conservative dress code, with the Qatar Tourism Authority stating: “Visitors (men as well as women) are expected to show respect for local culture by avoiding excessively revealing clothing in public.

“It is generally recommended for men and women to ensure their shoulders and knees are covered.”
However, it appears the rules were only loosely applied throughout the tournament, with dozens of female fans appearing in stadiums wearing revealing clothes and racy outfits, particularly in the latter stages.
