Women arrested over skirts

Thirty six women who attended a Fifa World Cup match dressed in Dutch orange mini-dresses were detained by police over claims they were advertising for an unofficial beer company.

The Dutchy dress was handed out in a promotion by Dutch beer firm Bavaria in the run-up to the tournament and worn by hundreds of women to the Netherlands’ match against Denmark in Johannesburg’s Soccer City on Monday.

But a group of women was approached during the match by a Fifa official who accused them of ambush-marketing and told them either to leave the stadium or be thrown out.
