Bangladesh U-17 women's national football team will kick off their AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup qualifying campaign against hosts Jordan on Monday night.
The match will begin at 10:00 pm (BST) at the Aqaba Stadium.
The girls in red and green have been placed in Group H alongside Jordan and Chinese Taipei.
Only the top team from the group will qualify for the finals, scheduled to be held in China next year.
“Whether we qualify or not will depend on the result of the first match. That’s why we are all focused on the Jordan match,” said Bangladesh U-17 women’s team head coach Saiful Bari Titu at the pre-match press conference on Sunday.
“Our women’s teams will play in the finals of both the senior and U-20 Asian Cups. Now it’s the U-17 team’s turn. We are optimistic,” Titu added.
Bangladesh will conclude their Group H campaign against Chinese Taipei on Friday.
