Your post is truly inspiring @Pajamatraveller It reminded me of a similar place in my own city. In Dhaka, Bangladesh, we also have a famous alley known as “FIFA Goli”, located in Tikatuli. The walls are decorated with colorful football murals, making it a favorite spot for football lovers and visitors alike.
