The customized Morocco national team shirt displayed "Wilders" and the number 10 on the back.
It appeared as a humorous response to a recent artificial intelligence-generated Instagram post by Wilders, where he depicted himself as a referee showing a red card to a Moroccan player.
In a video report by De Telegraaf, the supporter expressed amusement while referencing the politician's birthplace of Venlo.
"My biggest fan. Wilders, I love you," said the Moroccan fan.
The supporter laughed while explaining his presence at the tournament location in Mexico. "I love him.
Thanks to him I am out of the country. Wilders I love you, Venlo!"

"Wilders must not miss out here," said the Moroccan fan.
Another fan present at the pre-match festivities shared optimism regarding Morocco's chances in the tournament while the crowd moved through Monterrey.
"We are just doing one last dance here from left to right, but after that it is 'dima maghreb'," said another Moroccan fan.
