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.
