Unexpected Incident at Azteca Stadium

During the opening match of the 2026 World Cup held at Azteca Stadium, a Mexican supporter caught the spotlight after being filmed drinking from a container that looked like a mobile phone.

Despite FIFA's stringent regulations against alcohol consumption in stadiums, this fan successfully circumvented those rules during the game featuring Mexico and South Africa.

Footage of the Incident

Video evidence showed the fan sitting among other spectators, seemingly revealing his phone before sipping from the cleverly disguised container. This act quickly attracted criticism towards the stadium's management, with many questioning how such an item was allowed past security.
