Before leaving the country for Maldives, Sabina Khatun said, “I shall prove in Maldives that Bangladeshi women footballers really play well. If I perform well in Maldives, then the other foreign clubs will recruit women footballers from our country.”
The Maldives Football Fiesta will be held from March 14 to April 17. A total of 14 teams will take part in the football competition. Sabina Khatun will play for Maldives Police on March 17.
