Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose Amputee Football Team grabbed the moment and grabbed history. They edged past Monem Munna Amputee Football Team 1–0 and claimed the first-ever Amputee Football League title in Bangladesh. The final felt raw, loud, tense – and perfect for a tournament designed to showcase ability, not limitation.
Hira settled the final with the sort of strike that rewrites record books and ignites pride across a squad. He reacted quickest inside the box and fired home, leaving the opposition defence flat-footed. The goal gave Bose’s side something to protect, and they protected it with real bite.
Saim stood tall and owned the big stage. He claimed both Player of the Match and Best Goalkeeper awards because he commanded his area, cut out danger early, and kept his teammates calm. Every punch, every catch, and every shout built belief. When Saim plays like this, his team walks taller.
The league delivered drama in the women’s game too, as Sufia Kamal Amputee Football Team clinched their title with a 1–0 win over Begum Rokeya. Sahida Akhter slammed in the winner and walked off with Player of the Match honours. The entire afternoon turned into a celebration of talent that refuses to hide.
Organisers from Sports for Hope and Independence (SHI) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) pushed this league into reality. They staged the matches at the disability sports ground near Asad Gate, turning the space into a festival of football and grit. They designed the event to give amputee athletes a competitive platform, and the players delivered a level of intensity any professional league would envy.
The champions thanked coach Anowar Hossain for sharpening their structure and belief. He let them press high, strike early, and manage the game with discipline. On the opposite bench, Arif Billah guided Monem Munna’s team to the final and squeezed every drop of fight out of them. They fell short, but they left with the league’s top scorer: Mubakkul Hossain, who lit up the competition.
This league marks a turning point for disability sport in Bangladesh. The players didn’t just win titles. They won respect, attention and space. Bose’s boys now sit as the first champions in the history books – and they earned every bit of it.
