Overview
- Brazil were held to a 1-1 draw by Morocco in the 2026 World Cup opening match at MetLife Stadium on June 13, with Ismael Saibari scoring first and Vinicius Jr. equalizing.
- Before kickoff Moura posted a TikTok captioned “Mood because Brasil is winning today,” and hours after the match she shared an Instagram post captioned “Amo ser brasileira” to express support for the team.
- Coverage has focused on Moura’s reaction because she is a high-profile influencer with roughly 12 million TikTok followers and about 3 million Instagram followers who can shape public response.
- Moura made her 2026 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut and walked the SI runway in May, and outlets note her runway history and brand partnerships as context for why her posts gained attention.
- Brazil now move on to group matches against Haiti on June 19 in Philadelphia and Scotland on June 24 in Miami, and Moura’s visible support highlights how influencer voices can frame public expectations and debate around tournament starts.
