World Cup fan costumes: Mexico, Japan, Netherlands and US supporters go all-out

We are now one full week into the 2022 World Cup and heading into the final set of group-stage games. We’ve also had the chance to witness an astounding array of traditional costumes and fancy dress worn by fans of each national team, with some truly sensational outfits spotted at the tournament’s eight stadiums.

All the supporters you would expect to stand out have brought their A-games, with heavyweights such as Japan, Netherlands and the United States providing stiff competition in the running to be the best-dressed fans at the World Cup.

But the crown might well belong to the Mexico fans, who have created a vibrant sea of green, red and white in the terraces during their first two games — even if they are yet to see a win from El Tri on the pitch.

Have a look, and judge for yourself.
