Selection trial for U-13 booters from Jan 2


The Bangladesh Football Federation will hold a selection trial to prepare two Under-13 football teams which will take part in the AFC U-13 Football Festival in Dhaka next April.

Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and two teams from Bangladesh will participate in the weeklong football fiesta.

The BFF has requested the district sports associations to send players who were born after January 1, 1992, for the trials to be held at the Shaheed Mostafa Kamal Stadium in Kamalapur from January 2-4, 2005.

Meanwhile, the BFF named a 37-member preliminary squad for the women's football team which will take part in the AFC Under-17 women's football tournament in South Korea in April, 2005.

The players have been asked to report to women's football committee general secretary Quam-runnahar Dana or coaching co-ordinator Abdus Sadeq on December 25 at the Dhanmondi Women's Sports Complex.

Former national goalkeeper Mosharraf Hossain Badal will be in charge of the long-term camp which starts from January 1, 2005 with 30 booters.
