Karwan Bazar PS lift U-16 title

Karwan Bazar Pragati Sangha clinched the title of the BFF U-16 Football Tournament 2021-22 with a convincing 3-0 win over Wari Club at the Birshreshtha Shaheed Mostafa Kamal Stadium on Tuesday.

Player-of-the-final Shahidul Mostafa struck twice on either side of Arif Hossain's solitary goal as Karwan Bazar emerged champions of the tournament, organised for the youth teams of the Bangladesh Championship League.

The winners surprised all to seal the trophy even though their senior team were relegated to the second division football league due to the club's involvement with online betting, match manipulation and fixing the matches of Bangladesh Champions Trophy.

Arif of Karwan Bazar and Abu Bakkar Siddique of Forties FC became joint-highest scorer of the 11-team tournament, while Akash Islam of Wari Club was adjudged as the best player.
