Ensure women footballers receive their dues

Our women's football team has won the SAFF Championship title for the second consecutive time. As they paraded in an open-top bus from the airport through the streets of the capital to the BFF office in Motijheel, the people of the city showered them with congratulations. Such success in sports has been rare for Bangladesh in recent years. They first won the SAFF Championship in 2022, and back then too, the girls celebrated in an open-top bus.

Bangladesh Women's Football Team: Best in South Asia despite facing discrimination

In 2022, at the Dasarath Rangasala Stadium in Kathmandu, Bangladesh secured their first SAFF Championship title, beating Nepal 3-1. In 2024, they again claimed victory over Nepal with a 2-1 scoreline in the final, marking their second SAFF Championship win. What the men's national team couldn’t achieve, the often overlooked, neglected, and discriminated-against women's team has now accomplished, challenging the nation's perception of football. The light for Bangladesh's football lies within a shift in outlook and mentality, keeping alive the dreams of women’s football.
