Through sports, Sheikh Hasina said, the country can be advanced more and made known to the whole world.
 
"We see that our boys and girls are showing their expertise in sports in the world arena," she added.

She said five players of that team came from this Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib Gold Cup Primary School Football Tournament.
 
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.

Besides, in the final of the Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib Gold Cup Primary School Football Tournament, Patgram Tepurgari BK Government Primary School, Lalmonirhat beat Bancharampur Model Government Primary School, Brahmanbaria.
 
The prime minister distributed prizes and medals among the members of the champion and runner-up teams of the two tournaments.
