Asian Youth C’ship
U-17 booters to play qualifiers against SL


Bangladesh under-17 football team will play home and away qualifiers against Sri Lanka for next year's Asian Youth Championship final rounds.

The qualifiers were scheduled to be held in Dhaka from Novem-ber 13-17 but Bhutan, the other team in the group, have withdrawn their name at the last moment.

The winners will play in the finals to be held in Singapore next year.

The BFF will request the Asian Football Confederation to set a date for the two qualifying matches after November 18 to avoid the rush during the SAARC Summit in Dhaka.
