The date was 19 September 2022.

One of the best days in Bangladesh football history.

On this day, the Bangladesh women's football team created history in front of 16,000 spectators at Dashrath Rangshala in Nepal defeating the hosts 3-1 to become SAFF champions for the first time.

This is touted to be the most prestigious success of Bangladeshi football in the last two decades. Before this, the SAFF men’s championship in 2003 was the biggest success of Bangladesh football.

Over time, Bangladesh football’s popularity as well as the game has lost its lustre when the entire country’s sport calendar revolved around football tournaments. This recent success of the women's teams and other age level performance in women’s football have managed to rekindle the passion for football leading to a resurgence of the game’s popularity. The overwhelming enthusiasm centring football that came on the heels of the SAFF victory is quite indicative of that.

With hindsight this resurgence was only due to a key decision by the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) not to ignore women’s football. It could have easily skirted around it concentrating its efforts on rejuvenating men’s football before doing anything substantial with women’s football. As is apparent now, that had not been the case. It was a difficult decision, but BFF did not shirk away. And it has paid rich dividends.

Women's sports teams in Africa are not a permanent trend. I like women's football, tennis and cricket. That's why I prefer to search among sports events in Bangladesh - https://1xbetbd.com By the way, sports betting is a common practice in African countries. Don't miss such opportunities.
