  • A photo has been shared hundreds of times in multiple Facebook and Twitter posts that claim it shows a football pitch inside a forest in India. The claim is false; the photo shows a football pitch in Russia. This photo was published here on Facebook on August 4, 2020. (Screenshot of misleading Facebook post taken on August 11, 2020.) The post’s caption reads: The beautiful football ground is not in Europe but in Ukhrul, Manipur, India. Exceptionally beautiful!!! Ukhrul is a town in India’s northeastern state of Manipur. The post was shared here and here on Facebook, and here and here on Twitter alongside a similar claim. The claim, however, is false. A reverse image search on Yandex found this video of the same football pitch published here on the website for US-based media agency Shutterstock. The caption reads: Football field in the forest, Moscow park Meshchersky. Football, a beautiful top view of the football field, which is located in the forest. The same football pitch can be seen here on Google Maps in Moscow’s Meshchersky park. Below is a screenshot of an image tagged at the same location by a Google Maps user: (en)
