The Bangladesh national football team is set to begin preparations from Saturday for two upcoming international fixtures, with 26 players joining camp at the Hotel InterContinental in Dhaka.
Bangladesh football team's midfield facelift, which began with the arrival of Hamza Chowdhury, entered its next phase yesterday with Canada-based midfielder Shamit Shome getting called up in the 26-member preliminary squad for the team's Asian Cup Qualifying tie against Singapore at home on June 10.
The national team received a boost with the addition of midfielder Shamit Shome, who joins star player Hamza Choudhury in the middle of the park.
Bangladesh coach Peter Butler has virtually closed the door on the country's top-scorer and long-time captain Sabina Khatun by leaving her alongside four other SAFF winners in a 23-member team, declared for the upcoming Jordan tour, on Sunday.
Canada-based midfielder Shamit Shome has been cleared by FIFA to play for Bangladesh, Bangladesh Football Federation vice president Fahad Karim confirmed to The Daily Star today.
The growing momentum around Bangladesh football received another boost as Canada-based midfielder Shamit Shome took a significant step toward representing the national team. The 27-year-old visited the Bangladesh High Commission in Toronto to advance the process of obtaining his Bangladeshi passport. Shamit, currently a regular starter for Cavalry FC in the Canadian Premier League, has already secured clearance from the Canadian Soccer Association to switch his international allegiance. He also received birth certificates of himself and his parents with coordination from the Bangladesh Football Federation.
There has apparently been no resolution regarding the impasse between women’s footballers and the team’s head coach as six senior players are leaving to play in the Bhutan National Women’s League today, a day prior to Peter Butler’s return from England.
To make the imported inspiration sustainable, we need to create an ecosystem for our players.
The executive committee of the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) approved a proposed budget of Tk 61.80 crores on Thursday for the current year, about four-and-half months after the BFF’s annual general meeting refused to approve the proposed expenditure.
