Brazilian prostitutes and a Christian evangelical group played a football match in Belo Horizonte, taking over a central street to raise awareness about sex workers' rights.
Gathering after Colombia played Greece in the southeastern city, the women set up an impromptu pitch using traffic cones for goalposts and played to the enthusiastic cheers of onlookers.
The prostitutes, calling themselves the Naked Football Club -- though they played in the green and yellow uniforms of Brazil -- teamed with the visiting evangelicals from the United States to take on a local university team.
"Rights must be the same for everyone. We're no different from anyone else just because we're sex workers," Patricia Bonges told AFP.
