A 31-member Bangladesh team consists of 23 booters and eight officials. Earlier, Bangladesh put in Group E of the AFC Junior meet along with Yemen, Qatar and Bhutan.
 
The Bangladesh team will play hosts Qatar on Wednesday (Sept 18), Bhutan on Friday (Sept 20) and Yemen on Sunday (Sept 22), all at the Aspire Dome in Doha. 

Addressing a pre-tour press conference here on Sunday, Head Coach of Bangladesh Robert Martin Ryles said, “Our team is well-prepared. They played some preparatory matches here. Now we’re looking for the challenge of the AFC U-16 Champs. It’ll be a good test to judge our players.”

“They are in optimum level and the competition is tough. “Anything is possible. It’ll be good to win to qualifying for the 2nd round,” he added.
