Bangladesh was to play two international friendly matches against Indonesia in January this year. Both matches were to be played in Indonesia. But the tour was postponed because the national team footballers could not confirm the two-dose vaccine.
BFF has announced a tour of Indonesia again next month. The match against the Indonesian national team will be held on June 1 in Bandung, the capital of the island of Java.
This match is actually a preparation for the upcoming Asian Cup qualifiers. The Asian Cup qualifiers will be held in Malaysia from June 6 to 14. After playing a match in Indonesia, Jamal Bhuiyan’s team will fly directly to Malaysia.
In a video message sent by BFF after the meeting of the National Team Management Committee, BFF Vice President and President of the National Team Management Committee Kazi Nabil Ahmed said, “𝘉𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘩 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘢 𝘰𝘯 𝘑𝘶𝘯𝘦 1 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘤 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘯𝘨, 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘢.
