      Old Video Of Rioting In Germany Peddled As Fire At FIFA World Cup

      An old video of supporters throwing flares and causing a ruckus at a stadium in Germany's Hamburg has been falsely shared as a fire mishap from the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022, Qatar.

      BOOM found that the viral video shows visuals of supporters lighting flares, a product used to produce smoke and fire, and throwing them at the stadium and field causing a cloud of smoke; The fans created the chaos after former European champions Hamburg SV were relegated from a German football tournament for the first time in several years in May, 2018.

      According to reports, a fire broke out at noon at an under-construction building at Qatar's Lusail island on November 26. The accident spot is 3.5km away from Lusail Stadium where a world cup match was scheduled later in the evening on Saturday. The video has been shared in this backdrop.

      The video has been captioned in Hindi as, "Terrible fire at the World Cup stadium!! The danger and intensity of the fire break out is increasing, red alert has been issued across Qatar."

      (Original caption in Hindi: विश्व कप स्टेडियम में भयानक आग !!आग की गंभीरता बढ़ती जा रही है और खतरनाक होती जा रही है, पूरे कतर में रेड अलर्ट।)
