As Bangladesh’s women’s football team edges closer to making history with their AFC Women’s Asian Cup qualifying campaign, national pride is soaring — and the country’s top leadership is taking notice.
In an official statement issued Thursday morning, Chief Adviser to the Government hailed the team’s latest victory over Myanmar as a “proud moment for the entire nation.”
💬 “The determination, discipline, and heart shown by our women on the field reflect the spirit of Bangladesh. This win belongs to every citizen,” the Chief Adviser said, congratulating the players, coaching staff, and the Bangladesh Football Federation.
The message comes after a thrilling 2–1 win led by a sensational brace from Ritu Porna, placing Bangladesh just one step away from qualifying for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026 — a feat never before achieved.
🏆 If the Tigresses manage to secure a draw or win in their final group match against Lebanon, it would mark a historic first for Bangladesh women’s football.
🇧🇩 From Dhaka to Dinajpur, the nation stands united behind its rising football queens.
More tributes poured in from public figures, celebrities, and sports icons — with many calling this campaign a “turning point” for women’s sports in Bangladesh.
