The fanaticism that is already a custom there, went viral on the networks social. It seems like one more extension of our territory: even from the media, a news presenter made the news wearing the substitute shirt of the Argentine National Team.
Why is there so much fanaticism in Bangladesh for the Argentine team?
El gol de Maradona a los ingleses 1986- HD 1080p Remasterizado
Diego Armando Maradona's two goals against England in the quarterfinals of the 1986 World Cup in Mexico were important not only for the Argentine Republic. That match meant a kind of emotional “revenge”, due to the violation of our sovereignty in the War for the Falkland Islands, it was also exciting for the Bangladeshi people. In 1971, Bangladesh (the eighth most populous country in the world with more than 151 million inhabitants) would put an end to a colonization of more than a century of oppression by declaring its independence from Great Britain on March 26 of that year, and recongnized on December 16 after the "War of the Liberation".
An interesting curiosity about this country is that Bangladesh had the first woman in the position of Prime Minister in the world: Khaleda Zia won the elections in 1991 for the Bangladesh Nationalist Party. Composed of eight administrative divisions (provinces or regions here in Argentina), her fanaticism for the Argentine team has reached the AIRE newsroom. From Chittagong, located in the southeast of the country, fanaticism knows no limitations: shirts, subsidiaries, giant screens and messages of affection for Messi and company, as well as all Argentines. But it is not the only place where the breath is focused: it went viral after the match against Mexico, one of the epicenters with more than 50,000 people watching the match at the University of Dhaka, the country's capital.
Bangladesh fulfilled the dream of seeing the Argentine team
