President M Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Monday congratulated all players, coach and the manager of the Bangladesh women's team for beating the hosts Nepal 3-1 to lift the title of the SAFF Women's Championship.
Bangladesh, previously a finalist in 2016, romped to their second final of the regional meet crushing Bhutan 8-0 in the first semi-final last Friday.
Nepal, losing finalists on four previous occasions, booked their seat by eliminating India, champions of all five previous editions.
The victory crowned Bangladesh the champions in South Asian women's football ending India's reign of five successive titles.
