Even though the entire country is in celebratory mood with the triumph of the women’s football team in SAFF Championship, for hours, the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) had nothing to say on their verified Facebook page.
As of 9pm tonight, there was not a single post on the BFF verified page on Facebook on the Bangladeshi girls’ victory.
UNB checked their page, and even after two hours of the SAFF final, they had nothing on the spectacular success of the women’s team.
Netizens took notice and vented their anger at the BFF on social media. Many said that it seems, the BFF does not appreciate the wonderful success of Bangladeshi girls.
Eventually, no doubt, stoked by the social media criticism, the BFF got around to congratulating the team just after 9pm.
The final of the SAFF Women’s Championship 2022 between Bangladesh and Nepal was held at Dasharath Rangshala International Stadium in Kathmandu. Bangladesh beat the hosts to lift the title.
A brace from Krishna Rani Sarkar and an early goal from substitute player Shamsunnahar helped the Bangladesh women clinch their first SAFF championship today.
Anita Basnet pulled one back for Nepal, but it was too little, too late. With the win, Bangladesh shattered India’s dominance in the competition.
