Lejla, a TikTok user living in Cleveland, bought her father tickets for the World Cup, and the video went viral on TikTok.
“POV: you buy your dad tickets to watch a country that wouldn’t exist without his sacrifices play at the World Cup,” she wrote in the video description.
He opened a gift box containing the tickets and began to cry. She added that she made fake tickets for the video, as FIFA is not selling physical tickets before the World Cup.
