KATHMANDU: Even though the Football World Cup is taking place across seven seas in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, Nepal has also been swept up in football fever.

The federal capital, Kathmandu, has been particularly hit hard by the football craze. The streets, intersections, and public spaces across the valley have completely transformed into football hubs.

Supporters wearing jerseys of different teams, flags decorating the roadsides and residential neighborhoods, and the general excitement surrounding the matches have added a vibrant charm to the valley.

This immense enthusiasm among football lovers sends a clear message that the World Cup is not merely a sport, but has truly become a global cultural festival.
