Fashion police rip TV presenter for skimpy outfit at FIFA Club World Cup

Eleonora Incardona continues to make headlines while criss-crossing the United States to cover the FIFA Club World Cup this summer.

The Italian, who is a TV presenter for DAZN at the tournament, is on the tips of soccer fans’ tongues yet again, leaving many stunned by an outfit she wore while covering a match over the weekend.

While on the sidelines at the quarterfinal between Fluminense and Al-Hilal in Orlando, Fla., the 34-year-old host showed off her figure by wearing nothing but a striped cream-coloured top with matching pants. She shared several poses of herself in the outfit, which also included a matching jacket in some snaps.

But it was the bra-like top featured in the snaps that garnered the most attention online.

“I remember your recent interview where you said you are tired of being judged just because of your physical appearance,” one user commented on Incardona’s Instagram post. “Of course if you show up to the pitch wearing a bra.”

“(You’re) working, not at the beach. Out of place,” another wrote.

“What does this have to do with football or serious sports journalism?” a third user asked.

“Is that football or strip club?” another asked.

The carousel of photos also featured fellow DAZN host Ainhoa Perez with the post, “Bye bye Orlando. Heading to New York City,” alluding to her next assignment on Saturday.

Incardona also posted two videos of herself at the stadium before the match, which generally received awe-struck replies in the comments.

For Saturday’s match at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Incardona played it a bit safer with her outfit selection. She posted a series of sideline snaps from before the match between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund in which she was wearing a flowing brown dress with a single strap over her right shoulder.

The Italian TV host went viral when the tournament began last month for her glamourous outfits and the distance she travelled in the opening days.

Incardona was in Miami June 14 to watch the tournament’s opening game between Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami and Egyptian outfit Al Ahly, which ended in a 0-0 draw.

There was no time to relax on South Beach after the game ended, however, as the head-turning host packed up to fly cross-country for her next assignment: Covering the game between Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain against Atletico Madrid at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. – more than 4,000 km away.

After watching PSG demolish the Spanish side 4-0 – while looking fabulous in a low-cut, stylish black jumper – it was back to the airport.

From sunny California, the 34-year-old hopped a flight to Atlanta – another flight of more than 3,000 km – where she covered the match between LAFC and Chelsea – a 2-0 decision for the Europa League winners.

After that match, it was back across the country to Los Angeles, where she was on the sidelines for Inter Milan’s match against a squad from Monterrey, Mexico.

Incardona won’t be hopping on another flight until she heads home, though. The tournament’s semifinal matchups and final all will be held at MetLife Stadium with the final taking place on Sunday.
