The Most Breathtaking Soccer Fans That May Have Also Graced The 2023 World Cup!
Egypt
Due to its early departure from the 2018 competition, Egyptian supporters did not have much time to demonstrate the passion that they’re noted for, which even got them banned from observing matches in stadiums all over Egypt. Fans from the country still got to cheer for the Pharaohs during their last game at the competition against Saudi Arabia, culminating in Egypt’s loss.
Not dissuaded, the fans cheered for its Egyptian players to a six-nil win against Niger in their next bout at the World Cup exit. As of October 2022, Egypt placed 39th in the FIFA rankings, although they were absent from the tournament after losing its spot to play in Qatar.

Brazil
Aside from living in the biggest nation in South America, which is why they have four distinct time zones, Brazilians are famous for being among the world’s best soccer enthusiasts. As per popular belief, about nine out of ten Brazilians have experienced playing soccer in their lives.
Brazil conquered the FIFA World Cup finals more than any other nation in history, with five wins. Having stunning and supportive fans rallying behind them must also help the team become even more motivated. But in 2022, the team got kicked out by Croatia following a 4-2 loss.
Japan
Beauty can manifest in ways other than the physical, and Japanese soccer supporters demonstrated this during the 2018 World World. Despite facing a sad loss, these superfans brandished trash bags and began cleaning the stadium with cleaners’ aid.
Such measures only prove the very steadfastness of humanity and what we believe to be optimum beauty. Aside from endearing them to the rest of the world, the determination of Japanese fans has filtered through to their FIFA ranking, from 50th in 2018 to 23rd in 2022. Japan was eliminated from the FIFA World Cup after losing 3-1 on penalties to Croatia.
Senegal
With their performance during the 2018 World Cup, Senegal soccer fans were able to make Africa proud. Apart from the unforeseen 2-1 defeat of Poland that they cheered their nation into, the supporters also took the example of Japanese fans by celebrating their victory with a clean-up brigade, earning the world’s respect while enjoying some notoriety.
A good challenger for various soccer teams, Senegal became the highest-ranking African team at FIFA, ranking in the 23rd spot. By 2022, they were up five positions, placing 18th while still leading among other African teams at the FIFA World Cup held in Qatar.
Saudi Arabia
Fans of a special breed are the only ones capable of recovering a shattered morale from a five-nil loss at the hands of team Russia during the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Through their fans’ support, Saudi Arabia went on to defeat the Egyptian team that fielded the mythical Mohammed Salah, ultimately ranking third within their group.
The Saudi Arabian national soccer team placed 69th in the 2018 FIFA ranking, a placement they have since abandoned for the much higher ranking of 53rd in 2022. They have only been able to get up to their best ranking so far of 28th place in 2004.
South Korea
Even though Taekwondo is South Korea’s national sport, this nation also partakes in other sporting events like basketball, bullfighting, and baseball. Regardless, soccer is the most favorite one. Based on a 2021 poll answered by South Koreans, it’s the most favored, garnering 25% of the votes, while baseball came in second at 18.8%. This illustrates why soccer supporters outnumber those of other sports in South Korea.
With this nation’s distinctive beauty standards contributing to the republic’s reputation as one of the best for plastic surgery, it’s not surprising that it has soccer fans looking as lovely as these two.
