Sao Paulo: As football fever grips Brazil, Indian fans are making their presence felt albeit in small numbers in the ongoing World Cup, wishing they could also witness such a sporting spectacle in their home country.

Taking breaks from their businesses, some of the die-hard fans from India are making their dream of watching Brazil play at home in a World Cup come true, but the ongoing tension due to protests against the mega event is making them cagey while soaking up the experience of a lifetime.

For Subrata Das, a 42-year-old from Kolkata, who never misses even a local game in his home city, watching the opener between hosts Brazil and Croatia was a dream come true.

“The dream has been achieved … the experience inside the stadium was beyond words. I also brought the Indian flag specifically for the event,” Das said.

Naman Agarwal, a Mumbai-based businessman, who came with a group of friends, was also equally excited to have lived his dream and would stay to watch all the matches of the host country. (PTI)
