The Asian Cup qualifier between Bangladesh and Singapore is set to take place on June 10 in Dhaka. Anticipation is running high among Bangladeshi football fans, particularly because the match could feature both Hamza Choudhury and Samit Som. The growing presence of expatriate players has rekindled interest in football among local sports enthusiasts.
Ahead of the crucial match against Singapore, the national team is scheduled to play a friendly match against Bhutan on June 4. To begin preparations promptly, the Bangladesh Premier League schedule has been adjusted. The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) had initially planned to start the national training camp on May 31. However, with four league matches moved up, the camp will now begin a day earlier, on May 30.
As the matches involving eight teams will conclude on May 27, those players will get two days of rest before joining the national camp — a move that will aid their preparation.
Originally, the final five matches of the Bangladesh Premier League’s last round were scheduled for May 29. BFF has now brought forward four of those matches to May 27, while the match between Chittagong Abahani and Fortis FC will still be held on May 29.
The revised schedule, signed by BFF President Tabith Awal and League Committee Chairman and Senior Vice-President Imrul Hassan, has already been sent to the clubs.
