The knockout stage of the World Cup is underway. In the seventh minute of the match, Democratic Republic of Congo forward Brian Sipenga scored a goal against England.

Congo's playing skills have disappointed half of the spectators and supporters in the hall. Silence fell. Ananya, Shivani from Liverpool and Michael Air from Manchester are worried after Congo put England under pressure.

They are watching their country's knockout stage with foreign supporters. Congo is dominating England in the first half. Watching Congo's game, they are upset as England is about to return home from the knockout stage. Nepali and other national supporters are cheering on Congo's every move as if to tease them. This scene of a football fan is from Thamel's Sherpa Pub and Sports Club.

Kathmandu's nightlife is in full swing. In addition, with the excitement of the ongoing World Cup, clubs and restaurants here have started buzzing until midnight. It is much more fun to sit and watch TV with friends and unfamiliar football fans than to sit and watch it in a small corner of the house!

Live screenings of the World Cup are currently being held in small and large hotels, restaurants and bars in Kathmandu and other parts of the country. This excitement of the game has not only supported sports fans but also businesses. The long stay of domestic supporters and foreign tourists due to the game has directly helped businesses flourish.

When international games are screened at Sherpa Pub, there is a crowd of people, including foreign tourists, watching the game. Shankar Neupane, the owner of the club, has the experience of showing the game to up to 150 people in a club with a capacity of 70 to 80 people. After reaching the club in Thamel, we have prepared a video of the sports tourism that has been driven by the World Cup football screening.
