Dhaka out of Women Olympic soccer qualifiers for fund crunch
Bangladesh womens football team
Dhaka, Mar 29 – Bangladesh women's football team will not participate in the first round of the Asian qualifiers matches of the Paris Olympics 2024 due to "financial constraints."
The team is not in a position to participate in the Olympic qualifiers despite taking all the preparations as the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) could not arrange the money for the team's airfare, accommodation, transport, and insurance fee, BFF General Secretary Abu Nayem Shohag told the media Wednesday.
The announcement came just one week before the start of the first round in Myanmar. The qualifiers are scheduled to be held at the Thuwunna Stadium in Myanmar's Yangon from April 5 to 11 this year.
Earlier, Bangladesh were placed in Group B along with hosts Myanmar, Iran and the Maldives. - UNB
