Dhaka, Sept 30 (UNB) – Bangladesh Under-18 Football team, which finished runners-up in the five-team SAFF U-18 Championship 2019 in Nepal, return home on Monday afternoon.
In the SAFF U-18 Championship, Bangladesh finished runners-up for the 2nd times in a row after conceding a 1-2 goals defeat against India in a keenly contested final at APF Stadium in Kathmandu on Sunday.
Earlier, Bangladesh were eliminated from the semifinal of the SAFF U-18 Championship in 2015 after conceding a 3-4 goals defeat against India in the penalty shootout in Nepal, but two years later Bangladesh crushed them by 4-3 goals in the group match of SAFF U-18 Championship 2017 in Bhutan.
