[size=13pt]Nigeria Vs Argentina: Supporters, Sponsors scramble for action[/size]

The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) are being inundated with requests from supporters and sponsors all desperate to grab a piece of the action when Argentina and Nigeria clash in Dhaka next month.

The two teams will play an international friendly match at the Bangabandhu National Stadium on Sept. 6 which is being described as the biggest ever soccer event to be held in Bangladesh.

World Player of the Year Lionel Messi will lead a star-studded Argentina team to Dhaka with Nigeria also sending a full-strength side.

“We are overwhelmed by the response from the fans. Sponsors are showing a lot of interest,” Anwarul Huq, chairman of the match organising committee, told Reuters.

Local media reported that the BFF were selling the rights of everything associated with the match – from an official dinner to the bus bringing the teams to the venue.

A local event management firm has bought the rights for the dinner where a maximum of 250 seats will be available for supporters to eat with officials, sponsors and the teams.

There will also be an auction for supporters attending the dinner where they can buy different souvenirs and autographed pictures and shirts of famous players.

The BFF are also closing in on a deal with a local sponsor, who will brand a vehicle carrying Argentina fans to follow the team bus carrying Messi and his team mates, officials said.

Twice world champions Argentina are hugely popular in soccer-obsessed Bangladesh where their former captain and coach Diego Maradona is worshiped like a demigod.

I guess FIFA felt really insulted by our last match and have scheduled a comprehensive beating for us.

A Daniel has come to judgement.

This will be fun.

Na cricket be their no 1 sports for that side (South-East Asia - Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Indonesia etc) and football doesn't haven't a large following and isn't as popular, so the game is being played there to attract more interest and promote the game in that region. ie Argentina will be on a week long South Asian tour and have a friendly on September 2 in Kolkata, India before playing us on September 6.

Can't say I'm surprised. I mean, who no one see Messi, Aguero, Tevez etc grin

Just like how they were ONLY able to wipe a rag-team Super Eagles team 1-0 in SA 2010 with a goal that should have been disallowed and how they wiped all the teams with vexation to win the Copa America this year shey? tongue
