Digital Desk: Most people who plan to get married seek a partner who shares their interests and hobbies. Even if it falls on your wedding day, if you're an ardent football fan, you must watch the FIFA World Cup. In Kerala, a state famed for its love of football, a couple is making headlines for donning the jerseys of the teams they were cheering for in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final.

While the bride Athira, who supports the French squad, wore Kylian Mbappe's T-shirt, the groom Sachin, an enthusiastic Argentina fan, wore Lionel Messi's jersey number 10.

The two were dressed for their wedding and donned the jerseys over their attire; the BBC shared a snapshot of them on Instagram.



In a ceremony performed in Kochi city only hours before the two teams squared off in Qatar's Lusail Stadium for what ended up being one of the most stunning matches in FIFA World Cup history, the pair reportedly got married.

The pair hurried through their celebration and feast after the wedding ceremonies to get back to Sachin's house in Thiruvananthapuram, 206 kilometres away, in time to watch the championship.
 
“So groom is going to dominate for life,” a netizen joked. “This happens only in India,” said another.

After the game ended 3-3 in extra time, Argentina defeated France 4-2 on penalties in one of the most dramatic finals ever. In the championship game, Mbappe scored a hat trick while Messi scored twice.

Since Argentina won their third World Cup and first since 1986, videos of people celebrating in Kerala's streets with Argentinian flags and firecrackers have gone viral. The videos of people dancing crazily and going bonkers as the South American country won the World Cup demonstrate how important football is to Malayalis, who are passionate Lionel Messi admirers.
