After vowing to repeat the feat of the Bangladesh women's football team in Kathmandu, the Bangladesh men's team suffered a 3-1 defeat against hosts Nepal as Anjan Bista hit a first-half hattrick in a friendly at the Dasharath Rangasala Stadium yesterday.

The SAFF Women’s Championship final between Bangladesh and Nepal will be telecast live on T Sports, Bangladesh's only sports channel.

Having posed with the shiny trophy at the Dasharath Stadium yesterday, just the day before the final of SAFF Women's Championship, Bangladesh captain Sabina Khatun smiled big after raising the trophy and the Nepal captain Anjila Thumbapo Subba did the same.
