Nepal – Qatar World Cup trophy departed after traveling to Bangladesh. Even before this, the World Cup trophy arrived in Bangladesh in 2013. But that trophy was a replica. This time the real trophy has arrived.

What a wonderful arrangement around that trophy. Even concerts were organized. Although it was canceled due to rain. Looking at the smiling BFF president Kazi Salauddin standing next to the World Cup trophy, I remembered his promise – Bangladesh will play in the 2022 World Cup!

From the politicians to the rulers of the sports world of this country, the promise is unbridled. He says whatever comes in his mouth. That’s how BFF president Kazi Salauddin said about playing in the 2012 World Cup in Qatar 10 years ago. He has been the President of BFF since 2006. Far from going to the World Cup in Qatar, Bangladesh could not overcome the binding of the qualifying round! So the humor is going on on the social site that the trophy has come to Bangladesh thinking about the difficulty of going to Qatar!

Bangladesh is currently the 16th team in the FIFA rankings. Most of the time it is over ninety. Smaller teams like Bhutan and Maldives are now challenging Jamal Bhuiyan. BFF or footballers – no one has professionalism. Kazi Salauddin, who was standing next to the World Cup trophy, was asked by a funny journalist that day – when will Bangladesh play the World Cup? This time, the former striker went into full defense and said, ‘No one can say that. We can just try and get to work. ‘

At one time football was the most popular sport in Bangladesh. The frenzy surrounding the Abahani-Mohammedan match is unimaginable now! Even then the quality of the game was very good – not so much. The problem is, it is not what it used to be. Kazi Salahuddin, who once spoke out against the World Cup in Qatar, may not make any more promises. But playing in the Bangladesh Football World Cup is a far cry, needless to say.
