Nat'l women's hockey returns
National women's hockey competition returns to the field after a three-year gap, with seven teams competing this time in the week-long tournament beginning today at the Maulana Bhasani Hockey Stadium in Dhaka.
Although the first three editions of the tournament was held among district teams and school sides, this time the organisers have decided to run the tournament among seven divisions.
The seven divisions have been split into two groups, with Group A featuring Khulna, Rajshahi, Mymensingh and Barisal and Group B featuring Dhaka, Chittagong and Rangpur.
Rajshahi will take on Barisal while Khulna will play against Mymensingh in the two matches of the opening day.
The group champions and runners-up teams will move into the semifinals while the final and the third-place deciding match will take place on October 1.
All this information was revealed at a press conference at the Bangladesh Hockey Federation auditorium, where the federation's high-ups and representatives of sponsors Walton were present.
