During the parade to welcome England, around 20 English fans were present with approximately Indian fans. There were allegations that they were also fake supporters, but some came forward and said they were from the Indian state Of Kerala. The crowd also included fans from Bangladesh, two girls from China and a man from Thailand.
Sean Ingle who is the Chief sports reporter and columnist at Guardian tweeted:
So far, the Supreme Committee of Qatar 2022 (SC) has denied this allegation. As per media, one of the fan said that None of them are paid. They are England fans. Their favourite player is David Beckham, but now it’s [Bukayo] Saka. If anyone offers to pay them to support England, they will refuse. They are genuine supporters of England. Many of them grew up watching Beckham and Michael Owen. Their love is for this England Team.
