Crowds in Lebanon and Bangladesh celebrate Brazil's victory; look
In addition to the Brazilians, two other nations celebrate Brazil's 3-0 victory against Scotland in the World Cup. After the result, videos recorded in Tripoli, Lebanon, with Lebanese fans of the Brazilian team emerged.
The connection between Brazil and Lebanon comes from immigration. The Brazil-Lebanon Cultural Association estimates that there are around eight million people of Lebanese descent or citizenship on Brazilian soil.
As a result, the Lebanese community in Brazil is larger than the country's own population. At the same time, Lebanon has the largest number of Brazilians in the Middle East, around 20 thousand.

In addition to Lebanon, another nation that has many fans of the Brazilian team is Bangladesh. The country is divided between fans of Brazil and Argentina, due to their idolatry of Neymar and Messi.
In a video recorded in the country at the time of Neymar's entry into the match, it is possible to see the fans shouting the player's name and celebrating the return of number 10.
Neymar Jr. is back!
The moment Brazil's No. 10 stepped onto the pitch, Daffodil International University erupted with nonstop "Neymar! Neymar!" chants. Pure football passion! #NeymarJr #BrazilFansBangladesh #BangladeshLovesBrazil #vamosBrasil #WorldCup2026 pic.twitter.com/HHyYndPtNy
