Sheikh Hasina said the government is building one mini stadium in every upazila aiming to create scopes for sports round the year.
 
"We are also creating scopes for the children with disabilities to do practice," she said.
 
Earlier, the premier enjoyed the second half of the grand final held between Bancharampur Model Government Primary School, Brahmanbaria, and Patgram Tepurgari BK Government Primary School, Lalmonirhat.
