The first meeting of the new committee of BFF (Bangladesh Football Federation) took place today (9 November). Although there were a record 28 items on the agenda, the meeting did not last too long. The meeting started at 10:30 AM and concluded with a briefing around 2:30 PM. During the briefing, it was announced that the South Asian Football Championship-winning Bangladesh team would be awarded 1.5 crore taka as a prize.
This bonus comes in addition to the Tk1 crore reward previously announced by the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
The decision was revealed during the first meeting of the newly elected BFF committee, led by president Tabith Awal, on 9 November 2024.
In recognition of the team's consistent excellence, the BFF's reward highlights their significant contributions to Bangladesh's rise in South Asian football.
The announcement is seen as a vital gesture to encourage the players, including captain Sabina Khatun, who have played pivotal roles in the team's ongoing success.
Alongside this reward, the BFF also finalised the formation of several committees, with a finance committee appointed for a four-year tenure, while other committees will serve for one year.
This marks the beginning of a new chapter under Tabith Awal's leadership.
