Bangladesh Under-12 football team will take part in the Supermokh Cup U-12 Football scheduled to be held from December 1-7 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) will draft the squad for the U-12 tournament from a nationwide U-13 talent hunt programme and a football festival jointly organised by Sonali Otit Club and football’s governing body in the country. The football festival will be held at BFF’s artificial turf on November 9 and 10.
A total of 20 sides – three local teams, two sides from England and 15 teams from 15 countries – will participate in the tournament that will be held at National Sports Council’s ground, Bukit Jalil. The BFF will bear the expenses of air tickets while the organisers will take care of local accommodation.
“It will be a good experience for the youngsters. We have decided to send the team with a view towards grooming them for the future,” said BFF general secretary Abu Nayeem Shohag.
