‘This victory is not just a trophy, a victory of patience and discipline’
There has been a lot of drama surrounding the Federation Cup final. In the end, the match between Dhaka Mohammedan and Bashundhara Kings was like a final. Brazilian forward Dorielton Gomez scored a hat-trick to help Bashundhara Kings defeat Dhaka Mohammedan 3-2.
Last season, Bashundhara Kings were also the Federation Cup champions. This season, the Kings won the treble again by winning the Challenge Cup, Bangladesh Football League (BFL) and Federation Cup.
Recently Bashundhara Kings have set a record by winning the ‘Hexa’ for the sixth consecutive time in the Bangladesh Premier League.
After this historic success, Club President Md. Imrul Hasan said, ‘This victory is not just a trophy, but a victory of patience and discipline. This time’s title was the most difficult. The financial crisis, the absence of foreign Coaches and Players-the way the boys fought on the field despite all the adversities is a matter of pride.”
Imrul Hasan added, “Bashundhara Kings has always given utmost importance to discipline and commitment. Not a big name, but team spirit is the key to our success. This Hexa and today’s Federation Cup win will be an inspiration for young footballers.”
‘I believe that forming a good team is not the biggest prerequisite for winning trophies. Good teams do not always deliver success. What we do at our club is we remain vigilant about the players’ discipline. We are very strict in this regard. This helps our players stay fit mentally and physically and helps them stay more committed to the club, ‘said Imrul Hasan.
After making their debut in the Premier League in the 2018-19 seasons, Bashundhara Kings are now an unrivaled force in domestic football, having won 6 titles in just 8 years.
