Bangladesh Women Football

Cash flows after BFF’s late signal

The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) has come under severe scrutiny from all fronts after their financial shortcomings -- amounting to around 80-90 lac, according to BFF general secretary -- resulted in the national women’s team to sit out of the Paris Olympics qualifiers this week.

The inspiring story of national footballer Rupana Chakma

Bangladesh Women’s Football team, Rupana Chakma hails from the remote village of Bhuiyodam in the secluded Ghilachari hills of Naniarchar upazila, Rangamati. Born as a posthumous child, she did not have the opportunity to see her father, Gatha Moni Chakma. The distraught Kalosona Chakma began her struggles to earn a decent living for her four children. Kalosona would work inhumane hours as a day labourer in agricultural fields to manage two meals a day for the family. Despite the abject poverty, Rupana Chakma nurtured a knack for sports, and playing football has been in her dreams ever since childhood.

There comes a time, regardless of how rare it might be, when you genuinely feel happy to see others succeed. The existence of such happiness becomes much more apparent when it comes to underdogs achieving something despite everyone’s minuscule expectations for them. Such was the case for the Bangladesh Women's football team winning the SAFF Women Championship 2022 title.

A win for the dreamers

We need to invest in our women and change how we view their participation in sports

‘No one knows how hard the girls toiled’

"We had a dream of winning the SAFF Women's Championship but we could not do it. The dream finally came true through this group of brilliant girls," was the instant reaction from former national striker Suinu Pru Marma, who represented Bangladesh in the first three editions of the regional women's football extravaganza.

Historic victory for women footballers

The dream finally came true for Bangladesh women footballers, who earned their maiden victory over South Asian powerhouse India in the SAFF Women's Championship at the Dasarath Rangasala in Kathmandu yesterday.
