A video circulating on social media shows something that should not go unnoticed. During Tuesday’s match between Egypt and Argentina, security personnel carried out different checks.
Security personnel thoroughly checked every Egyptian fan entering the stadium, while Argentine fans went through the controls almost without being touched.
The images went viral within hours. Users from both countries pointed out the contrast: opened bags, detailed pat-downs, and slower lines for one group, and an almost automatic passage for the other.
The reason? No one from the organization has explained it yet. The episode reopens a question that comes up at every major sporting event: are security protocols applied equally to all fans, regardless of their passport?
