Hamza arrives in Dhaka for much-anticipated Asian Cup Qualifier against Singapore

Bangladesh star midfielder Hamza Choudhury arrived in Dhaka this morning to join the national team ahead of their crucial Asian Cup Qualifier against Singapore, scheduled for June 10 at the National Stadium.

While his availability for the friendly match against Bhutan on June 4 remains unconfirmed, his presence has already lifted the squad's morale. The Bangladesh national team began preparations last Saturday for the two upcoming international fixtures.

The match will give the local crowd the opportunity to witness England-based Hamza play for the Men in Red and Green at home for the very first time.

The English Premier League-bred midfielder made his debut for Bangladesh against India during the Asian Cup qualifiers in Shillong in March this year. The match ended in a goalless draw, with Hamza earning praise for his standout performance.

Meanwhile, ticket demand for the Singapore clash has surged. Organisers informed the media that all gallery tickets and most VIP-category tickets for the high-stakes fixture have already been sold out through the official online platform.
