National Sports Council (NSC) has issued 32 cheques for players and support staff of the SAFF winning Bangladesh women's football team, equally disbursing the promised Tk 1 crore reward for bringing home the regional football title for the second time in a row, said sports Adviser Asif Mahmud on social media.

"The announced reward cheques are set to be handed over to the players," read a post on his verified Facebook page accompanying a screenshot of an NSC notice declaring that cheques worth Tk 3,12,500 named for all the players and officials have been issued and are ready to be handed over.
