Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus presented the Youth Volunteer Award 2025 to Afeida Khandaker during Monday's ceremony at Shapla Hall. The Ministry of Youth and Sports organized the event that recognized twelve outstanding young individuals across five distinct categories. Khandaker serves as captain of Bangladesh's women's football team and plays the centre-back position.

The national team achieved significant victories under her leadership. Bangladesh won the SAFF Championship and earned qualification for the Asian Cup during her tenure as captain. Uchai Mong Marma from Bandarban also received recognition in the sports and arts categories alongside Khandaker.

Khandaker credited her family, friends, and supporters for their continued encouragement throughout her career. She emphasized that the recognition motivates young people to serve their communities and country. The footballer described the award as belonging to all individuals who work toward positive social change.
