U-23 booters go to Myanmar
Bangladesh will take part in the third Grand Royal Challenge Cup to be held in Myanmar from November 1.
The Under-23 booters will represent Bangladesh in the tournament, said Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) acting general secretary Manjur Hossain Malu.
He mentioned that a letter from the BFF confirming Bangladesh's participation in the tournament would be sent later on Tuesday night to the Myanmar Football Federation.
“We will pick a preliminary squad in the first week of September after the return of national coach Syed Nayeemuddin, who is now vacationing in India,” Malu said.
Earlier on August 18, the Myanmar Football Federation (MFF) invited BFF to participate in the tournament.
The MFF also invited four other countries -- Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam -- to take part in the tourney.
In 2005, Bangladesh finished runners-up in the same tournament.
