Bangladesh's Farida popular
in Germany's football
dhaKa : a player is a goodwill ambassador
of a country as sometimes even anyone may
not know much about a country, but the
whole world can know about it because of a
good player, such as maradona in football.
There are many people in the world who
know a lot about maradona even though
they don't know much about his country
argentina and the name of argentine
President. in that case, maradona has
served as argentina's ambassador to the
world.
We also have a Farida Kajal, who won the
hearts of the people in Germany as a football
referee. Once, she used to play cricket. later,
Farida Kajal chose football as she could not
make a place for herself in the national team.
although the condition of football in
Bangladesh was not very good, Farida chose
this game. She however spread more light as
a football referee than she did as a footballer.
as a football referee, Farida has spread the
light in Germany and made Bangladesh's
image brighter. She served as a referee in
men's match with 22 male footballers of the
two teams on the field. There were two male
assistant referees, but only one woman on
the field holding the chief referee'ss whistle.
Such a scene often can be seen in Europe.
Farida Kajal, a Bangladeshi girl, is giving
whistle as the chief referee.
Farida is a familiar face to the referees in
the Football league in Germany. Once,
Farida has conducted games efficiently in
dhaka's Pioneer Football, Bangabandhu
and Bangamata School Football, Club
Football, district divisional tournaments.
Farida, a girl hailed from Shariatpur,
never imagined that the experience she
gained would be so useful. Going to leipzig,
Germany, she has changed the wheel of
fortune. in addition to managing various
matches in the local football league in
leipzig, she has also conducted many
matches in Berlin. more than a decade ago,
Farida used to play cricket in dhaka in 2007.
he played for abahani for three years.
although she was selected in the national
girls team, she did not get a chance in the
final team.
Frustrated Farida was admitted to football
refereeing course side by side with playing
cricket. She has successfully passed in the
refereeing examination of Bangladesh
Football Federation (BFF) and had been
conducting football tournaments as a
referee in the country till 2014. Once, she
also did volleyball refereeing course. Farida
also did her graduation course in social work
from dhaka University. in addition to her
academic studies, she also passed BPEd
from the College of Physical Education in
2011. it was difficult to make a decent living
being a referee. So she worked as a sports
teacher at Bangladesh international School
and australian international School in
dhaka for a few years. in 2014, she got the
opportunity to study in sports education at
leipzig University, in Germany. he was
admitted to leipzig University in 2015 with
a scholarship from the government of
Germany.
