Saju Mia (Islami Chhatra Shibir, Dhaka University) ha vietato l'accesso a studenti che portavano una donna per guardare Francia-Norvegia dei Mondiali, scatenando proteste per discriminazione di genere. Il caso espone fratture di governance universitaria e restrizioni informali di inclusione in contesti accademici—rilevante per talent acquisition in Asia meridionale.

Six former students of Dhaka University's Dr Muhammad Shahidullah Hall have alleged that they were harassed by a hall council leader while watching a World Cup match on a big screen on the campus.

Muhtasin Billah Emon, a student of the 2018-19 academic year, wrote on Facebook that they were thrown out of the hall on Friday night when they went to watch the match between France and Norway because a former female student of the university had accompanied them.
