Bangladesh Women's football

 In a country whose population is predominantly Muslim and there is some resistance towards women’s football. The women’s game has struggled to gain a foothold in Bangladesh in the past and many tournaments dedicated to women have failed. Women's football finally saw light in Bangladesh when the first ever women's football tournament was staged under the Vision Asia programme in November 2007. Eight teams especially from different district's all over the country took part in the tournament and made it a success amidst security threats.

In October 2008, first women's school football tournament was held under the Vision Bangladesh programme with BFF hopeful of continuing and developing the women's game in the country.

Women's football was included in the South Asian Games 2010 hosted in Dhaka while the first Women's SAFF Championship is to be held in December in the country. Bangladesh had their first team in the AFC U-19 Women's Championship qualifiers with India, Jordan and Iran in their group.
