Bangladesh women's football team will play a FIFA friendly match away to Singapore on February 18 and will likely host Cambodia for two matches in March, confirmed Bangladesh Football Federation's women's wing chairman Mahfuza Akter Kiran.

Bangladesh senior women's team's last international match was in September last year when they played and won the SAFF Women's Championship title in Kathmandu. Following the success, there was demand from football fans to allow the women's team more international matches, and BFF officials had promised to arrange matches in FIFA windows.

"We had been saying for some time that we were trying to arrange a match against Singapore during a FIFA window. Singapore tried to arrange a tri-nation tournament involving Bangladesh and another team, but they couldn't convince the other team," Kiran told reporters in Kamalapur on Sunday.

"Now we will play a Tier-1 match against Singapore in Singapore on February 18. We will play another unofficial match there the following day. We will also try to play two matches against Cambodia in Dhaka in March. However, the matches have not been finalised as yet," Kiran added.

Bangladesh are currently ranked 140th in FIFA ranking, a jump of seven places following their SAFF success.

The BFF official, who recently won her post as AFC Women's executive committee member but lost her seat in FIFA, hoped that these matches will help them ascertain the team's level and help the team get ahead in FIFA ranking.
