FIFA World Cup jerseys are from Bangladesh

Nearly 100 garment factories in Bangladesh are involved in manufacturing fan jerseys for the World Cup that kicks off on June 14 in Russia.
So far, nearly a billion dollars worth of jerseys have been exported from Bangladesh.

In the first eleven months of the fiscal year, exports of knitwear grew more than those of woven garments because of higher shipments of jerseys. In the July-May period, knitwear exports rose 11.48 per cent and woven garment exports rose 8.15 per cent.

Fakir Apparels sent 50,000 pieces of jersey to a German buyer earlier this year. The fan jerseys were for Germany, Argentina and Brazil.

Apart from the World Cup, Fakir Apparels exports jerseys all the year round for different football clubs in Europe like Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The jerseys cannot be sold in the local markets as the fabrics are imported under a bonded warehouse facility.

A Chittagong-based factory also sent 30,000 pieces of jackets for players and supporters of Argentina, Mexico, Spain and Germany.

The players and coaching staff of the four countries will use the jackets during practice.

Bangladesh exported fan jerseys worth a billion dollars for all 32 nations participating in the 2018 FIFA World Cup in what can be viewed as an exciting opening for the country's garment exporters.
