SAFF Women's Championship

A victory that should unite a divided nation

The SAFF Women's Championship success could not have come at a better time for Bangladesh, a nation divided along many lines and one that is trying to recalibrate its identity following a major shake-up in its socio-political landscape.

'Delivered on the promise that I'd bring SAFF'

Bangladesh national women’s football team’s outgoing head coach Peter Butler said he has delivered on the promise of bringing the SAFF Women’s Championship title home.
