Recently, a new wave has come to football in Bangladesh. The country’s football, which has been going through a bad period for a long time, is gaining popularity among the audience. Bangladesh is receiving support from Turkey to continue this wave of football and improve further.
An important bilateral meeting was held between Bangladesh Youth and Sports Advisor Asif Mahmud Sajeeb Bhuiyan and TFF President Ibrahim Ethem Haji Osmanoglu at the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) headquarters in Istanbul today.
In the meeting, Asif Mahmud highlighted the recent revival of football in Bangladesh, the inclusion of players of Bangladeshi origin in the national team and initiatives to build a sustainable football ecosystem. He noted that the Turkish football team has a large fan base in Bangladesh and in this context, organizing a Bangladesh-Turkey friendly match will further strengthen the sports-related friendship between the people of the two countries.
The TFF President warmly accepted the proposal and immediately announced that if everything goes well, a friendly match between the women’s football teams of the two countries could be held in August. At the same time, he assured all-out cooperation, including technical assistance, training of coaches and referees, sports medicine and exchange of experience, to strengthen the football structure of Bangladesh.
