Content creator sneaks into World Cup game dressed as an employee. Two Argentine YouTubers who tried the same thing now face up to 5 years in prison

Seems like it’s not gonna work all the time!

A content creator has gone viral after posting a video on TikTok appearing to show him walking into a World Cup match at a Los Angeles stadium by dressing as an event employee. The video, posted by Noah Moye (@moyeyt), has accumulated more than 15.4 million views. In it, he is seen wearing a black FIFA 2026 T-shirt and black pants, apparently dressed to blend in with stadium staff.

The video shows Moye walking up to multiple security checkpoints and passing through each one without being stopped. At one point, he is heard saying, “All good?” as he moves past a checkpoint, and a guard is seen waving him through. He is later seen watching the match from inside the stands, with the scoreboard showing the USA leading New Zealand 1-0.

At another checkpoint, Moye appears to lose his composure. “Oh my God, I can’t hold my laugh in,” he says in the video. The footage then cuts to him inside the packed stadium, which the large video board identifies as Los Angeles.

Two Argentine YouTubers were arrested at a World Cup match in Miami after allegedly bypassing three layers of security

While Moye’s video went viral without any reported legal consequences, two Argentine content creators were apparently not as fortunate. Beni Marmol, 20, and Pato Perrotta, 26, were arrested at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens during a Colombia-Portugal Group K match, according to Miami-Dade Sheriffs who told WPLG they “bypassed three layers of security”. They were apparently among 16 people arrested at that match.

When questioned by police, Marmol reportedly told officers he was an influencer “trying to stream the game.” Perrotta, per his arrest report, claimed he “was hired by a media company to review the event” and said he had credentials, but they were from a previous event.

Both are reportedly facing a third-degree felony charge of illegally interfering with a sporting event, which carries a sentence of up to five years in prison. Florida introduced this law specifically following the 2024 Copa América final, which saw 27 people arrested and 55 ejected. Under the law, entering a ticketed event of more than 5,000 people without authorization is now a felony in the state.

Walter Costabel, the influencers’ manager, later spoke to Argentine outlet Todo Noticias and said “the guys are fine” and “they’re not being deported.” He added that “they simply cannot be near the stadiums where the World Cup matches are being played.”

The World Cup matches have also created significant disruptions for residents living near venues, as one Miami woman was blocked from entering her own neighborhood near Hard Rock Stadium during a FIFA event.

Perrotta has more than 500,000 YouTube subscribers, and Marmol has more than 270,000. Their content ranges from lavish shopping sprees to 24-hour challenges. The Colombia-Portugal match, which they allegedly entered without authorization, drew a sold-out crowd of 64,478 and received more than five million ticket requests. Most fans reportedly spent $1,000 or more for a ticket, with prices on StubHub ranging from $2,676 to $22,084 on the day before the game.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has been described as the most expensive in the tournament’s history, according to The Athletic. FIFA reportedly used variable pricing to raise ticket costs multiple times between October and April, with price hikes across 95 of 104 matches and an average increase of 35% over that period. 

A Category 1 seat for a group-stage match runs between $450 and $990, more than double the equivalent seat price at the 2022 tournament, per The Athletic. They also stated that even the cheapest available seats, Category 3, range from $140 to $1,410 depending on the match.

The high costs and large crowds surrounding World Cup events have also led to dangerous situations off-venue, as seen when two New Jersey women were struck by a driver after a World Cup watch party while walking home.
