Her name is Cristina, she is 76 years old and she is a fan of the Argentina national team. But what is really amazing and what made her a TikTok star is that the grandmother has her group of young friends with whom she celebrates the triumphs of the albiceleste in Qatar 2022 in the middle of the street.
Cristina’s story arose from Villa Luro, one of the 48 neighborhoods into which Buenos Aires is divided. There, the fans of Argentina turned her into her cabal and they sing a little song for her that went viral on social networks.
The popularity of “La abuela” started with the victory against Poland. That day, a group of friends went out to celebrate the first victory of the National Team in Qatar in a corner of Villa Luro and met a lady waving a flag and who naturally joined the party, Olé reported.

With each victory of the Argentine team, the scene was repeated until it transcended the borders of the neighborhood. “The kids from Luro” are a group of friends who have known each other since they were little and get together to watch all the games, TodoNoticias assured.
After beating Australia, the young people came out to celebrate and the grandmother reappeared in the same way: dancing with her face mask and with the national flag. By then, she had become a kind of cabal to everyone.

After the game, where the Argentine team went to the semifinals, the grandmother’s celebration was again all the rage on social networks. The video did not take long to go viral, because more residents of the area joined in and all together sang, jumped and even threw foam to celebrate.
