She wore a white cap and red-and-green attire, with her name and a map of Bangladesh on her back, holding a Bangladeshi flag.

While Argentina's next opponent is Egypt, Chowdhury will return home before their match but wishes for Argentina to reach the finals.

Kabir praised Haaland's performance and the fighting spirit of both teams, expressing deep respect for all players in the World Cup. She hopes to witness more legendary players in the future and dreams of the day Bangladesh competes in the World Cup, which she would proudly support with a Bangladeshi flag.
