This study aimed to know the socio-economic status in the society of the university sportswomen of Bangladesh. Data was collected by random selection of 95 female athletes from 09 different public universities through questionnaire from the 5th Bangladesh Universities Games, 2017 jointly organized by Dhaka University (DU) and Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) between March-April, 2017. Data was analyzed by using mainly percentage and mode. Self-motivation was found the main driving factor for sports. Majority of the female players’ family income is low. Business was found as profession of a large proportion of the father of female players and mothers are mostly homemaker. Some extent academic departments of the university help for the sports participation. Most support comes to sportswomen from family, self, father and friends for the sports. Yet there are various issues of sportswomen that still need to be addressed properly with strong initiative taking help from this study findings for the development of women sports in the university and ultimately in the national & international arena of sports.
