Speaking to the media on Thursday, the players expressed their frustration over what they see as neglect from BFF.
Some senior women footballers today skipped the national team’s training session under reappointed English coach Peter Butler ahead of their upcoming FIFA friendly matches in February-March.
The women’s league is usually held in a single-league format but Kiran informed that the federation wants to introduce the double-league format in the WFL in order to get FIFA recognition.
“The training of the Bangladesh U-20 women’s team is going to start on December 1 with the participation of 30 players under English coach Peter Butler,” BFF Women’s Committee chairman Mahfuza Akter Kiron said yesterday.
As they say, it’s better to try and fail than to never try at all. This is the time for Bangladesh to try and climb up the ladder in women’s football globally.
After conquering South Asia twice, Sabina Khatun, captain of the Bangladesh women’s football team, wants to achieve greater glory at the Asian level.
In 2022, when the women in red and green earned their maiden title, many skeptics had credited luck for the success. However, beating hosts Nepal 2-1 yesterday and securing the SAFF Women’s Championship title again proves that their triumph is no accident, especially after having broken the dominance of subcontinental powerhouses India and Nepal.
Bangladesh will start their campaign by taking on Pakistan in a Group A encounter on October 20 before facing five-time champions India in the group’s second and final match on October 23, after the seven-team tournament gets underway on October 17 in Kathmandu.
Holders Bangladesh are set to leave for Nepal on October 15.
