Bangladesh girls arrived in Bhutan Wednesday, ahead of the Saff U-18 Championship, scheduled to be held from Friday to October 7.
The girls in red and green have been pitted in Group B alongside Nepal and Pakistan while Group A comprises India, host Bhutan and Maldives. Sri Lanka were also supposed to play in the tournament but withdrew at the last moment.
Bangladesh women’s football team hoped their participation in the inaugural edition of the Saff U-18 Championship would be a memorable campaign as a 30-member contingent is all set to leave here for Bhutan’s capital Thimphu Wednesday afternoon.https://t.co/LEALtYNRpO#BFF #SAFF
