Bangladesh under-16 women's football team will travel to J-Green Sakai Academy in Japan this month as part of preparation for September's AFC U-16 Women's Championship to be held in Thailand.

The Bangladesh team had previously visited the same academy in January-February this year to play in the J-Green Sakai Lady's Football Festival. During that tour they played seven matches against different teams including Thailand U-16 women's team. This time they are expected to play three warm-up matches even though the opponents have not been finalised yet.

The Bangladesh team had also visited China and Singapore as part of their preparation in the mean while.
