Paye Paye Bishwacup by Rupak Saha [Hardcover]

The FIFA World Cup is undoubtedly the largest sporting event in the world, and the excitement surrounding it is boundless. The first World Cup was held in 1930, and since then, the number of participating countries has gradually increased, along with the intensity of the competition. The best footballers give their all to win for their countries, and for millions of passionate fans, the game holds a place of reverence almost akin to a religion.

Renowned sports journalist Rupak Saha has attended three World Cup tournaments in person, where he spoke with legendary players, coaches, and officials. His unique contribution, "Paye Paye World Cup," offers a comprehensive overview of the past nineteen World Cups, including results and summaries. It also discusses the teams and players from the thirty-two countries participating in the current World Cup, the stories of the top footballers, the rules of the World Cup, and Brazilian football. Additionally, the book is enriched by the author's invaluable personal experiences from the World Cups.

A book like this, focused on the World Cup of football—a game beloved by Bengalis—is rare in Bengali literature.
