U-16s to play in Japan
The Bangladesh Under-16 women's team will play four matches in Japan this month as part of their preparations for the final round of the AFC U-16 Women's Championship, which is scheduled to be held in September in Thailand.
Although their opponents in the invitational JFA J-Green Sakai Tournament are yet to be confirmed, the girls will fly for Japan on January 24 to take part in the tournament which is scheduled to run from January 26-29, informed Bangladesh Football Federation women's committee chairman Mahfuza Akter Kiron yesterday.
“We are supposed to play at least four matches in this tournament which I think will help us see the progress of the girls,” said head coach Golam Rabbani Choton. “Although our training is going the players, who were the part of SAFF Women's squad, will join the camp on Saturday in order to prepare for the tournament.”
Japan will be one of eight participating nations in the AFC U-16 Championship, which will also act as the qualifiers for the Under-17 Women's World Cup.
