IFIC Bank Partners with Kolosindur Football Academy to Empower Young Female Footballers

IFIC Bank PLC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) under ‘Future of Tomorrow: Powered by IFIC’ initiative with Kolosindur Football Academy located in Dhobaura, Mymensingh, an institution that has become a symbol of hope and ambition for young female footballers across the country. Kolosindur’s legacy is nothing short of inspiration. The village has groomed nine (09) players for the Bangladesh Women’s National Football Team, and in the 2024 SAFF Championship, six (06) of its players proudly represented the nation.

On June 18, 2025, The MoU was signed by Academy’s General Secretary and Coach Mr. Juel Mia and President Ms. Mala Rani Sarker, with IFIC Bank represented by Deputy Managing Director and Head of Branch Business Mr. Md. Rafiqul Islam at IFIC Bank Mymensingh Branch. The event opened with remarks from Ms. Fariha Haider, Head of Centralized Retail Marketing. Besides, in attendance at the event were Ms. Razia Samad Dahlia, President of the Sherpur Diabetic Association and a prominent social worker, and Mr. A.K.M. Delwar Hossain Mukul, President of the Mymensingh District Football Association.

This partnership builds on IFIC Bank’s visit to Kalsindur Government Uchcha Madhyamik Bidyalay in October 2024, when the bank donated sports gear to young female players. Through this new agreement, IFIC will provide ongoing support including nutrition and infrastructure to further develop these athletes.

Mr. Md. Rafiqul Islam stated, “Supporting these young athletes is an investment in their future and the future of Bangladesh.” President Ms. Mala Rani Sarker added, “IFIC Bank’s support will encourage and inspire our girls to dream bigger.”

This initiative reflects IFIC Bank’s broader commitment to empowering women, not just through finance, but through impactful community engagement in sports, education, and entrepreneurship.
