Prospect of Bangladesh in 2024 AFC U-17 Women’s Asian Cup Qualification Previously the Bangladesh Football Federation did not allow the team to play in the Olympic qualifiers due to a financial crisis. After that, Bangladeshi football fans erupted in anger against the federation, and now the U-17 team started their qualification journey for the 2024 AFC U-17 Asia Cup. Singapore hosts the AFC U-17 Women’s Asian Cup Indonesia 2024 qualifiers with the support of the Asian Football Confederation. Bangladesh is in Group D of the competition. The remaining two teams in Bangladesh’s group are hosts Singapore and Turkmenistan. Bangladesh will play one match each with Singapore and Turkmenistan in the ‘D’ group, where the Tigresses want to play in the second round as group champions. And Bangladeshi girls got a great start to achieving the goal. Bangladesh beat Turkmenistan by 6-0 at Jalan Besar Stadium. From the beginning of the match, Bangladesh put pressure on Turkmenistan, and they were cornered by one attack after another. As a result, Bangladesh got the goal quickly.

However, most of the footballers in the U-17 team do not have experience playing on foreign fields. But according to coach Golam Rabbani, the girls are not afraid, and his words have been proven in the first game against Turkmenistan. So, we can see a great prospect reaching this team in the final tournament. Also, this team played in the 2023 SAFF U-17 Women’s Championship, where Bangladesh beat Bhutan and India. So, the experience from SAFF U-17 will also come in handy for the girls. Final Words So far, Indonesia, Japan, North Korea, and China qualified for the final tournament automatically. And after the qualification round, Australia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and India secured the second round. Bangladesh must need a win against Singapore today to secure the second round in the 2024 AFC U-17 Women’s Asian Cup qualification.
