Star Lifestyle speaks to some of the women athletes of Bangladesh who are role models for countless young girls across the country.

Sabina, Ritu Porna visit SBNCS

The stars of Bangladesh Women’s national football team captain Sabina Khatun and Rituporna Chakma visited the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) office at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur today. They were welcomed to the SBNCS by national cricket team captain Nigar Sultana Joty who showed them around. The footballers, fresh from their SAFF Championship triumph, also tried their hands in cricket at the indoor practice facility of SBNCS and impressed Joti with their skills!

What next for Bangladesh’s golden girls?

As they say, it’s better to try and fail than to never try at all. This is the time for Bangladesh to try and climb up the ladder in women’s football globally.

‘Time for girls to go beyond South Asia’

After conquering South Asia twice, Sabina Khatun, captain of the Bangladesh women’s football team, wants to achieve greater glory at the Asian level.

A triumphant return

Bangladesh, winners of the SAFF Women’s Championship, returned home from Nepal with their second consecutive regional title amid huge enthusiasm from fans and media personnel at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport yesterday.

SAFF Women’s Championship / Women ‘make it happen’ with skill and tenacity

In 2022, when the women in red and green earned their maiden title, many skeptics had credited luck for the success. However, beating hosts Nepal 2-1 yesterday and securing the SAFF Women’s Championship title again proves that their triumph is no accident, especially after having broken the dominance of subcontinental powerhouses India and Nepal.

Chaotic off the pitch, sublime on it

Success and controversy are apparently walking hand in hand for Bangladesh in their title defence of SAFF Women's Championship in Kathmandu.
