Bangladeshi national football team has never qualified in World Cup Football but the people of the country are crazy for this event. The month of June is not exactly a great time for the businessmen as there is no major festival in the country at this time. But for some business people it is now business more than usual because of World Cup Football. The business people related to the shoe industry have come out with an innovative approach of making shoes and sandals in the design of the flags of the 32 participating countries in the world cup. Since, most people in Bangladesh are fans of Argentina and Brazil you can find shoes and sandals in the design of these countries. If you look at the shoes from a distance you may mistakenly think that you are looking at the flags of those countries. Wearing the shoes and sandals in the color of the national flags of the participating countries is becoming a cool fashion in Bangladesh and it is expected to continue even after world cup finishes.
More than shoes, people are eager to buy the jerseys of their favorite teams. Now many companies are selling shirts and t-shirts made in the design of the flags of Argentina and Brazil. Many shops are even giving these shirts and t-shirts as free gifts when you buy something from them. However, those companies are not forgetting to include their own logo in these dresses. Then you can find the mugs and dishes decorated in the design flags of the participating countries.
As a Bangladesh, I feel happy to see the craze for World Cup. I also feel happy for the business people. June is basically a dull month for them because of being the start of the rainy season.
