September 6, 2011 will always be remembered by the Bangladeshi football fans as a historic day because on this day Bangladesh showed its capability to the whole world by arranging a great football match between Argentina and Nigeria. This was perhaps the most amazing match ever held in Bangabandhu National Stadium. Never in the history of Bangladesh a football team of this stature (Argentina) visited Bangladesh and played such a magnificent friendly match. It is surely an experience of a lifetime for all the 24,000 spectators who watched the match live. No words can describe their feelings.
Kudos to the Bangladesh Football Federation, Kazi Salahuddin and the sponsors, for arranging such sports extravaganza. And as Argentina and Nigeria teams have left Bangladesh, we all hope that many such matches will be arranged in the future.
