SAFF-winning women’s team returns home, heads to BFF in an open-top bus

The team arrived at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport around 2:30 pm.

Bangladesh has claimed the SAFF Women’s Championship title for the second consecutive time by defeating Nepal.

Following this victory, Sabina Khatun, Rituparna Chakma, and the rest of the team returned home on Thursday afternoon.

Head coach Peter Butler and captain Sabina Khatun spoke to the media at the airport. From there, the women’s team boarded an open-top bus headed for the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) headquarters. The bus departed for BFF around 4 pm, with the players standing and waving back to the enthusiastic fans who had gathered to celebrate their success.

BFF’s new president, Tabith Awal, and sports advisor, Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan, awaited the team at the BFF building to officially welcome them. The team is to be honoured there, and both the coach and the captain are set to speak to the media afterward.

In 2022, Bangladesh’s women’s team tasted their first SAFF Championship victory, also by defeating Nepal. At the time, an open-top bus parade was arranged, though it hadn’t initially been planned by the BFF. That arrangement was inspired by a Facebook post from midfielder Sanjida Akter, leading to preparations for the celebratory bus. This year, the players themselves reminded organisers of the tradition.

The team’s flight was initially scheduled to arrive at 2:15 pm, though it landed slightly later. Well before their arrival, the open-top bus had already been brought to the airport and was decorated with flowers from around 12:45 pm. Several BFF officials were at the airport to receive the champions. Although last time a large number of fans had gathered to greet Sabina and her team, the crowd was smaller this time.

SAFF-জয়ী মহিলা দল বাড়ি ফিরে, একটি ওপেন-টপ বাসে BFF রওনা দেয়

দুপুর আড়াইটার দিকে দলটি হযরত শাহজালাল আন্তর্জাতিক বিমানবন্দরে পৌঁছায়।

নেপালকে হারিয়ে টানা দ্বিতীয়বারের মতো সাফ উইমেনস চ্যাম্পিয়নশিপের শিরোপা জিতেছে বাংলাদেশ।

এই জয়ের পর বৃহস্পতিবার বিকেলে সাবিনা খাতুন, ঋতুপর্ণা চাকমাসহ দলের বাকিরা দেশে ফিরেছেন।

বিমানবন্দরে গণমাধ্যমের সঙ্গে কথা বলেন প্রধান কোচ পিটার বাটলার ও অধিনায়ক সাবিনা খাতুন। সেখান থেকে মহিলা দলটি বাংলাদেশ ফুটবল ফেডারেশনের (বিএফএফ) সদর দফতরের উদ্দেশ্যে একটি ওপেন-টপ বাসে চড়ে। বিকাল ৪টার দিকে বাসটি BFF-এর উদ্দেশ্যে রওনা হয়, খেলোয়াড়রা দাঁড়িয়ে তাদের সাফল্য উদযাপন করতে জড়ো হওয়া উত্সাহী ভক্তদের দিকে হাত নেড়ে ফিরে আসে।

বিএফএফের নতুন সভাপতি তাবিথ আউয়াল এবং ক্রীড়া উপদেষ্টা আসিফ মাহমুদ সজিব ভূঁইয়া আনুষ্ঠানিকভাবে তাদের স্বাগত জানাতে বাফুফে ভবনে দলের অপেক্ষায় ছিলেন। সেখানে দলকে সম্মান জানানো হবে এবং কোচ ও অধিনায়ক উভয়েই পরে মিডিয়ার সাথে কথা বলবেন।

2022 সালে, বাংলাদেশের মহিলা দল নেপালকে হারিয়ে তাদের প্রথম সাফ চ্যাম্পিয়নশিপ জয়ের স্বাদ পায়। সেই সময়ে, একটি ওপেন-টপ বাস প্যারেডের ব্যবস্থা করা হয়েছিল, যদিও এটি প্রাথমিকভাবে BFF দ্বারা পরিকল্পনা করা হয়নি। সেই ব্যবস্থাটি মিডফিল্ডার সানজিদা আক্তারের একটি ফেসবুক পোস্ট দ্বারা অনুপ্রাণিত হয়েছিল, যা উদযাপনের বাসের প্রস্তুতির দিকে পরিচালিত করেছিল। এ বছর খেলোয়াড়রা নিজেরাই সেই ঐতিহ্যের কথা স্মরণ করিয়ে দিয়েছেন আয়োজকদের।

দলের ফ্লাইটটি প্রথমে দুপুর 2:15 টায় আসার কথা ছিল, যদিও এটি কিছুটা পরে অবতরণ করে। তাদের আগমনের বেশ আগে, ওপেন-টপ বাসটি ইতিমধ্যেই বিমানবন্দরে আনা হয়েছিল এবং দুপুর 12:45 টার দিকে ফুল দিয়ে সজ্জিত করা হয়েছিল। চ্যাম্পিয়নদের স্বাগত জানাতে বিমানবন্দরে ছিলেন বাফুফের বেশ কয়েকজন কর্মকর্তা। গতবার সাবিনা ও তার দলকে অভ্যর্থনা জানাতে বিপুল সংখ্যক ভক্ত জড়ো হলেও এবার ভিড় কম ছিল।
