The midnight shift: When to catch Brazil and Argentina in action

During the FIFA World Cup season, football fans across Bangladesh eagerly await the matches involving Brazil and Argentina.

Bangladeshi football supporters are largely divided between these two footballing giants, and their passion is often reflected in social media posts and banter, as well as in the wearing of team jerseys, the hoisting of flags and the organisation of rallies.

From rooftops proudly displaying massive flags to heated debates at tea stalls over who truly rules the football world, the passion of Bangladeshi fans remains one of the most fascinating anomalies in global football.

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup now officially on the horizon, the ultimate battle for bragging rights has returned.

However, with a time difference of around 10 hours between Dhaka and the host cities, fans in Bangladesh will have to brace themselves for some serious sleep deprivation to watch their favourite teams in action.
