After the game, Salma Khatun said, eagerly waiting all day When will the news of victory come? Finally in the evening, when Bangladesh won 3-1 on the TV screen, it felt like a dream. My sister was successful.

Incidentally, Satkhira's local coach Akbar Ali used to coach the girls in various events. He died of a heart attack a few years ago. He also said that our childhood was spent with lack and poverty. It was a very struggling time. Sabina is now a big star. Other sisters are also independent. All in all, I am fine with my mother.

Ali said that local coach Akbar Ali used to train girls to play football at PTI ground in the city. My elder daughter Masura studied in class three. After school he used to stay in the fields without returning home. At that time Sabina was playing in the field. The first time Sabina's ball went out of bounds, she would have picked it up. In this way, he developed a love for football. In the end, the girl gained fame in football.

Masura's mother Fatema Khatun said, we are very poor people. Even days have passed, I had to starve. Seeing Masura's interest in sports since childhood, I asked him to continue playing. Coach Akbar Ali has brought my daughter this far. Unfortunately, Akbar Ali could not see such a big victory.
