After Bangladesh’s historic qualification for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026, national team captain Afeida Khandokar has urged for improved facilities, including proper nutrition and training grounds, to prepare for bigger targets, including Olympics qualification.
Few expected Bangladesh to stamp their ticket to the Women's Asian Cup at a qualifying tournament last week after a year in which they had failed to win a game and lost some of their most experienced players.
Bangladesh women’s team head coach Peter Butler heaped praise on his lynchpin forward Ritu Porna Chakma, backing her greater things, following her standout performance in the historic 2-1 win over Myanmar, which secured Bangladesh a place in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup for the very first time.
