Former AFC Champions League winners Busan IPark have expressed their interest to play a friendly match on Bangladeshi soil. The South Korean top flight club sent an invitation letter to the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) last Monday asking if the national side or any premier league club are interested in playing a friendly in Bangladesh.
The BFF though is yet to take a final decision on the matter. “Korean K-League club Busan IPark are interested to play in Bangladesh. It could be against the national team or any club,” said BFF general secretary Abu Nayeem Shohag yesterday.
“We will discuss this issue in the next national team committee meeting. We have to look into the schedule and if the committee rejects the offer then we will see if any premier league club are interested,” he added.
Meanwhile, the national side have a hectic schedule ahead. Following the international friendly against the Japan Under-21 team this Thursday, Bangladesh will take part in the Bangabandhu Gold Cup at home in the middle of next month.
