      This Is A Football Pitch In Moscow And Not Manipur
      A photo has been shared hundreds of times in multiple Facebook and Twitter posts that claim it shows a football pitch inside a forest in India. The claim is false; the photo shows a football pitch in Russia.


      This photo was published here on Facebook on August 4, 2020.

      Screenshot of misleading Facebook post taken on August 11, 2020.

      The post's caption reads: "The beautiful football ground is not in Europe but in Ukhrul, Manipur, India. Exceptionally beautiful!!!"

      Ukhrul is a town in India's northeastern state of Manipur.

      The post was shared here and here on Facebook, and here and here on Twitter alongside a similar claim.

      The claim, however, is false.

      A reverse image search on Yandex found this video of the same football pitch published here on the website for US-based media agency Shutterstock.

      The caption reads: "Football field in the forest, Moscow park Meshchersky. Football, a beautiful top view of the football field, which is located in the forest."

      The same football pitch can be seen here on Google Maps in Moscow's Meshchersky park.

      Below is a screenshot of an image tagged at the same location by a Google Maps user:
