Bollywood’s dancing diva Nora Fatehi attended her first game of the FIFA World Cup and was seen supporting her home country, Morocco, with full pride. Nora shared a string of videos and pictures from the Brazil vs Morocco FIFA World Cup 2026. The “Garmi” hitmaker was seen carrying the Moroccan flag and was seen singing the anthem ahead of the match.
Nora was also seen posing for pictures as she watched the match, which ended in a draw, with Ismael Saibari scoring for Morocco and Vinicius Junior equalising for Brazil. She wrote as the caption: “Morocco Vs Brazil. 1st game of the Worldcup.” Five-time winners Brazil and Qatar 2022 semi-finalists Morocco shared the spoils thanks to two equally brilliant goals from Vinicius Jr and Ismael Saibari in the Group C match.
The meeting between Brazil and Morocco, who became the first African nation to reach the last four, ended in a 1-1 draw. Nora was seen headlining the second Opening ceremony in Toronto and performed the official World Cup song “Siir Siir.”

The other performers in the opening ceremony included names such as Vegedream and Sanjoy. The celebration in Toronto also had performances from Jessie Reyez and Alessia Cara before the kick-off. Palestinian artist Elyanna also performed at the Opening Ceremony in Toronto.
Talking about the actress, Nora, who is of Moroccan descent, gained fame with her work in Telugu films for her special appearance songs in films like “Temper,” “Baahubali: The Beginning” and “Kick 2” and has also starred in two Malayalam films, “Double Barrel” and “Kayamkulam Kochunni.” Nora was seen as a contestant in the controversial reality show “Bigg Boss” in 2015, hosted by Salman Khan. In 2016, she participated in the reality television dance show “Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.” She was also seen in films such as “Street Dancer 3D” and “Bhuj: The Pride of India.”
Meanwhile, Nora recently had a minor vacation mishap after accidentally dropping her phone into a swimming pool. Nora took to her stories section to share the unfortunate incident and recounted how the device slipped into the water. She hilariously even asked to “pray” for its speedy recovery. The actress first shared a video of herself, where a worried Nora was heard saying: “My phone dived in the swimming pool.”

In the next video, she was seen walking towards the pool and detailing how it slipped because of her friend. She cited: “The phone was here and he gets up and it fell directly here (she points at the swimming pool) My phone fell inside.” Nora was then seen placing her phone in a bowl of uncooked rice in an attempt to dry out the device.
Earlier during her break, Nora expressed her gratitude to life, saying she is thankful for both the good and the bad experiences that have helped her evolve in her journey. She had posted a handful of photos and videos from her serene getaway.
