We are on day 5 of the European Championship taking place in Germany, and manipulative materials related to this event are appearing every day.
It is finally show a video on social media, which claims to be images of "Red and Black Fans" in Dortmund, at Euro 2024.
The video was published (June 15) by a TikTok account named "gazeta.mk".
The truth?
Hibrid.info has found that the footage is old and does not show views of Dortmund.
Link to the video material published by the "gazeta.mk" account on TikTok:
As of the time of writing, this video has received over 28 thousand likes and nearly 385 thousand views (see here).
After researching using the automated search program, "inVID", hibrid.info has found these images published in the past.
The same were found published on YouTube on November 16, 2023, which, based on the description, present footage of the choreography of the "Red and Black Fans" before and during the match between Albania and the Czech Republic, as part of the Euro 2024 qualifiers (see here).
Although the footage does not appear from the same angle, hibrid.info has understood that these moments were filmed in Tirana and not in Dortmund, as claimed. (see image comparison below)
Analyze:
The claim that the video shows footage of "Red and Black Fans" in Dortmund is incorrect.
The moments presented were shot in November last year, before Albania's match with the Czech Republic, in Tirana.
Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info rates the content as "Unverified".
Reasoning:
The "Unverified" rating is given to those informative contents that do not provide sufficient information to confirm the claims made in the report, and which could not be verified due to certain circumstances (speed, lack of sources) during the publication of the content.
