Sanjida Akhter to play for East Bengal

Bangladesh women's football team winger Sanjida Akhter has got an offer to play for East Bengal FC in the ongoing Indian Women’s League. 

Women committee chairman of Bangladesh Football Federation Mahfuja Akhter Kiron confirmed this to media on Monday.

She is awaiting visa clearance to join her national team captain Sabina Khatun, who left for India on Monday to join second-placed Kickstart FC in the same league.

“We have already given her a NOC [No Objection Certificate] and as far as I know, Sanjida has got an appointment to submit his application to the Indian visa centre and is expected to get the visa soon. It didn't take long for Sabina to get the visa,’ an officer of Bangladesh Football Federation said.
