As in the previous season, the atmosphere at the Federation Cup final was electric. The spectators were treated to a finale brimming with excitement and drama. Football enthusiasts enjoyed a captivating match. The Kings triumphed over Mohammedan Sporting Club (MSC) with a score of 2-1.

Miguel reinvigorated the Kings after Emmanuel Sunday had given MSC the lead. Defender Jahid Hossain netted the decisive goal for the Black & Whites during extra time. King's coach Oscar Bruzon characterised the match as dramatic, saying, "It was incredibly thrilling. Especially after we conceded the initial goal, a myriad of emotions surged through us. Yet, we remained focused on the pitch. It was a splendid match. In my view, it epitomised total football. A multitude of supporters journeyed to Mymensingh to back us. It was the pinnacle of the season. The Bashundhara Kings have clinched the title in every season since their debut. However, the squad had never secured all the season's titles. The long wait concluded with the victory in the Federation Cup on Wednesday. 

Bruzon underscored the collective effort behind such an achievement. The sacrifice, commitment, and resolve we displayed brought the treble to fruition through our magnificent endeavour. The Kings' hierarchy, our team personnel, and ball boys – collectively, we stand out as a unique team in Bangladesh." Defensive stalwart Tapu Burman also attributed the success to teamwork. 

"Cup tournaments are invariably challenging. MSC scored first in the Independence Cup final as well, but we immediately responded. The same happened in the Federation Cup; we recovered from a deficit. There's a singular reason: teamwork. It was feasible because we all endeavoured jointly."
