The limitless passion generated by soccer in Argentina has always been well known, but with the recent winning of the Qatar 2022 World Cup and a digitized world, we can see the information in real time, the images of fans of the Argentina’s team went viral in all over the world in addition to classic places in Europe and America (In Brazil, Argentina was chosen as the favorite foreign team) that were recognized as classic fans in areas farther away and geographically and culturally remote, especially India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nepal, or Qatar among others, but the images that impressed the most were from Bangladesh and India. There are signs of affection and fanaticism toward Diego Maradona and the Lionel Messi from all corners of the world or that is not an exaggeration to say a very strong group of fans in India was created in May of this year arose mainly from the city of Kerala, a state of India on the tropical Malabar coast, with a population of more than 35 million, who adore Diego Maradona and Messi now.
As in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, massive celebrations were seen with each match that the Argentine team won. But when and from where such marked fanaticism arises, let’s remember that these areas of the world were British colonies, India when the British arrived represented 20% of GDP, violation of human rights, massive, and widespread repression with torture and prisons was imposed at the time. When they left, only 10% of the population could not read or write and more than half were malnourished. In the mid-80s, with the massive improvement of the media, soccer became global in this part of the world where the most popular sport is cricket, the famous victory of Argentina against England in the 86 World Cup in Mexico and the presence of Diego Maradona author of the goal of the century in that match but also the goal from the hand of God that represented for many the triumph of affective roots waves and a sense of justice despite the hand, let’s remember that Argentina came from a war conflict with England for the Malvinas Islands, which also provided a seasoning of claim for Argentina that victory and then win the World Cup in 1986.

Subsequently, the appearance of Lionel Messi continued with new fans in the area who already had the fanaticism that parents and grandparents transmitted to him for the Argentine team. In fact, the Argentine Government plans to reopen the Argentine embassy in Bangladesh, also recently, the AFA has plans to at least take the World Cup to India and Bangladesh so that it can be seen by all the fans, hopefully it will come true.
