The White Team beat Orange Team 1-0 in tiebreaker in the final to secure trophy of the Women's Amputee Football on Wednesday at the BFF Artificial Turf in Motijheel. In an Exhibition match, Bangladesh boys' team also won the trophy following a 1-0 win over England in the same venue.

Previously, the Women's Amputee Football had officially launched in Bangladesh on 10 October in Dhaka. Before that, on Saturday, Bangladesh Amputee Football Association (BAFA) announced a five-day training programme and an exhibition match prior to the official launching programme. 

With support from the World Amputee Football Federation (WAFF), International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and coordination from Sports for Hope and Independence (SHI), and Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF), the five-day training camp with the amputee footballers began on Sunday on the BFF Premises at Motijheel in Dhaka.

After the final matches, prizes were handed over to the winners in a colourful programme at the BFF Artificial Turf in Motijheel. 

Amputee football is quite a new concept for the Bangladeshis. Amputee football is a seven-player football concept for players with disabilities as a consequence of amputation. 

Each of the teams gets seven players with six on the outfield and one as the goalkeeper. Usually, the outfield players have lower extremity amputations while the goalkeepers have an upper extremity amputation. For the condition, outfield players use loft strand (forearm) crutches and play without their prosthesis.
