Meet the Wayanad family that turns its home into an Argentina shrine every World Cup

For Umar Ali and his family in Kerala's Wayanad, supporting Argentina is a tradition that goes far beyond the FIFA World Cup. Ahead of the tournament, the family has once again transformed their home into a vibrant tribute to the South American football giants, decorating it with Argentina's iconic blue and white colours.

Their passion, inspired by football legends Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi, has been passed down through generations and dates back to 2002. What started as a family celebration has grown into a community effort, with friends and former teammates helping to decorate the house. The unique display has become a local landmark, showcasing Kerala's deep-rooted football culture and the family's unwavering love for Argentina.
