Bangladesh women footballers got the party they deserved after making history. The team earned their first-ever spot at the AFC Asian Cup. Football bosses threw them a special midnight bash at Hatirjheel amphitheater Sunday night. The celebration kicked off at 3:15 am when the players finally showed up. Executive committee members handed out flowers to welcome the champions home.
The ladies flew back from Myanmar through Thailand before landing in Dhaka around 2 am. Airport staff rushed them straight to the party venue for their big moment. Cultural Affairs Adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki joined other VIPs to praise the team. Former captain Aminul Haque and current president Tabith Awal also spoke at the event. Team captain Afida Khandaker Pranti and forward Rituparna Chakma represented the players.
The crazy late-night timing happened because of tight schedules. Two star players Rituparna and Monika Chakma had to catch flights to Bhutan Monday morning. Three more teammates were set to leave just two days later. Officials wanted the whole squad together for one final celebration. The football federation made sure every player could attend this historic moment.
