The way Bangladeshis support their team is different from that of Brazilians. In Brazil, people usually watch games at home or go to a bar. In Bangladesh, fans gather in open spaces, as there are no bars in the country.

Entrepreneur and influencer Malik Robin Mia is one of the main drivers of this phenomenon. He created the CBF Bangladesh page, which brings together fans of the green and yellow team.

Resources come from the fans themselves

The resources for the parties in Bangladesh come from the fans themselves, who make contributions to cover the costs of screens, structures, food, and event organization. The government does not invest, offering only authorizations and institutional support.
