The government just handed out 50 lakh taka to Bangladesh's women soccer stars. These players made the country proud after reaching the AFC Women's Asian Cup for the first time ever. The team already holds the South Asian championship title from their previous wins. They created sports history during their matches in Yangon last week.

The soccer heroes flew back home on Sunday night after their amazing victory. Thousands of fans gathered at Hatirjheel where the Bangladesh Football Federation threw a huge welcome party. The celebration had fancy decorations and loud cheers from excited supporters. Everyone expected the federation bosses to announce prize money during the event.

Federation President Tabith Awal spoke to the team but made no cash promises. He told the players that the organization supports them and believes in their abilities. Many people felt disappointed because no financial rewards came from the federation itself. The team has faced money problems for a long time.

Back in 2022, the federation promised 1.5 crore taka after the team won the SAFF Championship. The announcement happened on November 9 that year but the players never received their money. The unpaid prize money adds to ongoing concerns about how the federation treats its female athletes.

The government's 50 lakh reward shows official recognition for the team's historic achievement. Sports fans hope this money actually reaches the players who earned it through their hard work and dedication.
