Bangladesh's Passion for Messi and Argentina Traced to Maradona's 1986 World Cup Heroics
Bangladesh se convierte en uno de los mayores escenarios de apoyo a la Selección argentina y a Lionel Messi . Aunque el país asiático está a más de 17 000 kilómetros de Argentina, millones de personas siguieron con entusiasmo el triunfo 3-0 frente a Argelia en el debut mundialista, una demostración de que la pasión por el fútbol argentino trasciende fronteras. Según el escritor y comentarista deportivo bangladesí Rajib Hasan, cerca de 120 millones de personas siguen cada Copa
Bangladesh exhibits immense passion for the Argentine national football team and Lionel Messi, with an estimated 72 million fans supporting 'La Albiceleste.' This fervent support, which saw massive celebrations after Argentina's 3-0 debut win against Algeria in the 2026 World Cup, has deep historical roots. According to experts, the connection began with Diego Maradona's iconic performance in the 1986 World Cup. Maradona's success, particularly against England, was seen by many Bangladeshis as a symbolic victory against a former colonial power, fostering a sense of empathy with Argentina, which also had a complex historical relationship with the UK. While Messi is the primary reason for younger generations' support, the historical context established by Maradona laid the foundation for this enduring footballing affinity.
Bangladesh's strong support for Argentina and Messi is rooted in historical empathy, stemming from Diego Maradona's 1986 World Cup performance, which resonated symbolically against colonial powers.
