East Bengal Club extended a heartfelt welcome to Sanjida Akhtar, the talented winger of the Bangladesh women's football team, upon her arrival in Kolkata. Two officials from the esteemed club greeted her with bouquets at the Kolkata airport on Wednesday evening. The club's official Facebook page commemorated the occasion with a post featuring a photo and the caption, 'Welcome to our home, Sanjida.'
Sanjida's signing marks a significant milestone in the club's history as its first-ever addition to the women's football roster. The announcement garnered an outpouring of well-wishes from fans and supporters across the nation, with approximately 50,000 reactions to the post.
Despite the overwhelming support, there remains uncertainty about whether these sentiments will translate into tangible success for the team. Currently placed sixth in the seven-team league with three points after six matches, East Bengal's aspirations for a title seem distant at best. While Sanjida's team may not be in contention for the title, Kickstart FC, captained by Sabina Khatun of the Bangladesh women's football team, is performing admirably. With 14 points from six matches, they trail league leaders Odisha FC by just two points.
Sanjida is anticipated to make her debut in the iconic red and yellow jersey on January 30, adding a new chapter to East Bengal's football legacy.
