On social networks, they share a video that shows the celebration of the players of the Spanish soccer team in the locker room apparently singing ‘I vote for you Txapote’. It’s false. The audio of the recording is manipulated. The original video was shared by Jennifer Hermoso on her Instagram stories after Spain’s victory over Sweden in the 2023 World Cup semifinal and the athletes sang Shakira’s ‘Waka Waka’.
“The players of the Spanish women’s soccer team singing ‘Que te vote txapote’ in the locker room after winning the World Cup,” we read in a Twitter post that reaches more than 4,400 ‘likes’ and more than 1,900 retweets. Along with the message, they share a 16-second video in which we observe several soccer players from the Spanish National Team in a locker room apparently singing ‘I vote for you Txapote’.
The players of the Spanish team have not sung “Txapote vote for you” after winning the World Cup. The audio of the video that is broadcast on networks is manipulated. The original sequence was shared on her Instagram stories by soccer player Jennifer Hermoso on August 15. The images do not correspond to the World Cup final, but rather they were registered in the changing rooms of the Eden Park stadium in Auckland (New Zealand) after the Spanish victory against Sweden in the semifinals. Although the images have already disappeared from Hermoso’s profile, the YouTube account The Daily Post collects this and other publications from that date, including the video that has gone viral on networks. In the recording, the athletes chant ‘Waka Waka’, the theme chosen by FIFA as the official song of the 2010 Soccer World Cup. You can check it out from minute 0:43 of this link.
The audio that they have inserted in the video that has gone viral on networks has been extracted from a recording recorded during World Youth Day which was held in Lisbon (Portugal) between August 1 and 6. The sequence shows a group of Spaniards who attended the event by train while they sang ‘que te vote Txapote’. Various media echoed these images (1, 2 y 3). You can check that the audio of the manipulated video and the original match and that both last 16 seconds.
From the Twitter account that broadcasts the manipulated video of the soccer players of the national team, they recognize in response to another user that this is fake content. From VerificaRTVE we have consulted the Royal Spanish Football Federation for this manipulated recording and we have not received a response until the time of publication of this article.
Major sporting events are often the subject of hoaxes. At VerificaRTVE we deny various misinformative content during the Men’s Soccer World Cup in Qatarlike this manipulated video with which users accused Chinese television of putting masks on soccer players and fans in the broadcast of the Qatar 2022 World Cup and we clarified that RTVE did not insult a man with a disability in one of its broadcasts of the championship.
