“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.
Coach Butler believes this is a good opportunity for the new players to prove themselves in competitive matches with the Bhutan fixtures.
Sabina spoke about the experience of the two Chinese Taipei ties as well as the upcoming SAFF Women's Championship.
Bangladesh coach believes his charges will have a home advantage playing on the bouncy artificial turf.

The year 2023 was expected to witness Bangladesh women's football progress in an upward trajectory on the back of winning the SAFF Women's Championship in September last year. It was not meant to be, unfortunately.
