The celebrations for the 2026 World Cup continue to produce viral scenes in the streets of Mexico City, but one of the most talked-about in recent hours has featured an elderly American tourist and a group of young female fans.
In the video, which is circulating widely on social media, the man can be seen taking part in the celebrations while exchanging kisses with several Mexican girls amid the festive atmosphere.
The episode adds to a long list of videos that have appeared during the World Cup showing interactions between local fans and foreign visitors. However, many users pointed out that this case drew attention because it involves a man considerably older than the women who appear in the footage.
As often happens with this type of viral content, reactions were divided. Some users took it humorously and described the tourist as “the big winner of the World Cup”, while others questioned the image that these kinds of scenes project about the World Cup celebrations.
Beyond the controversy, the video once again showed how the World Cup not only generates stories inside the stadiums, but also viral moments that end up fueling much broader debates on social media.
