Argentina football team were supposed to play a FIFA international friendly match in Dhaka next month but the plan was cancelled due to venue problem, Bangladesh Football Federation president Kazi Salahuddin told Dhaka Tribune Wednesday.
“Argentina are not coming to Bangladesh in June because the venue (Bangabandhu National Stadium) will not be ready in time,” said the BFF chief over phone.
“I thought the venue will be prepared but it is not happening so I had to cancel the plan last month,” he added.
Salahuddin also said he wants to bring Argentina team in Bangladesh after the completion of the renovation work of BNS which is unlikely to be finished this year.
Argentina football team came to Bangladesh only once before when they played a friendly against Nigeria at the fully-packed BNS on September 6, 2011.
