The 18 senior players of Bangladesh national women’s team, who have been boycotting training since head coach Peter Butler returned to the country, seem to have shot themselves on the foot after refusing to sign contracts offered by the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) on Monday.

Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) president Tabith Awal will make a call on the report prepared by a seven-member special committee regarding the ongoing impasse over women’s football team’s camp, even though it is uncertain whether the president will declare the findings of the report today or will take more time to more on the delicate issue before making it public.

A seven-member special committee of the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) yesterday began the process of interviewing the 18 rebel footballers who are boycotting the training camp under national women’s team coach Peter Butler, demanding his resignation.

The BFF also plans to develop a network among the country’s top football academies, such as the BFF Elite Academy, BKSP, Shams Ul Huda Academy, and others, so that the players of those academies can groom themselves properly while helping each other.

Members of the Bangladesh team that won the 2024 SAFF Women’s Championship in Nepal last week arrived at the State Guest House Jamuna today for a reception ceremony accorded by Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus.
