Bangladesh scored 23 goals in the event and conceded only one in the final. Fakhrul said he watched an interview of a women footballer Swapna’s mother on television and got shocked hearing what she said about her family’s poor condition.   ”When she (Swapna's mother) was asked whether she could give her footballer daughter good food, eggs and milk? She replied I couldn’t even manage rice. From where would I give her eggs and milk? That is the real picture that we usually talk about,” he observed. Narrating the poor economic condition and hardships of Swapna's family, Fakhrul said this girl has overcome poverty and reached a position in the national women's football team. "We're proud of it."
