In 2022, the Bangladeshi women savoured their first SAFF victory at the same venue, defeating Nepal.
Back then, the team was also escorted from the airport to the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) headquarters in an open-top bus, though it was not initially planned.
The bus was arranged following a Facebook post by midfielder Sanjida Akter about the open-top bus celebration. This time, too, the women's football team reminded officials of the event.
The Bangladeshi team, crowned champions of South Asia, landed in Dhaka at 2:15 pm.
A press conference is expected to be held soon.
