"We have all preparation for these championships."

"We will also avail all FIFA windows to play against good opponents. Our target is to win all matches in a bid to lift the ranking of women's team in Asia," said the AFC executive committee member, adding that Saiful Bari Titu will act as the head coach of different age-group teams.
