Bangladesh's national football squad, in Kuwait City for their FIFA World Cup Qualifiers match against Palestine, wasted no time in hitting the gym as they commenced their preparations for the crucial fixture. The team, fresh from Saudi Arabia where they conducted an intensive training camp, is primed for the upcoming away match scheduled for March 21 at the Jaber Al Ahmad International Stadium.
Following their clash with Palestine, the Bangladeshi footballers are poised to return home, ready to host their opponents at the Bashundhara Kings Arena in Dhaka on March 26. The strategic scheduling of both home and away fixtures underscores the significance of these matches in Bangladesh's bid for World Cup qualification.
The journey to Kuwait marks the culmination of a rigorous two-week preparatory camp held at the King Fahd Sports City Stadium in Al Taif, Saudi Arabia, from March 3 to 17. Under the guidance of Spanish head coach Havier Cabrera, the team underwent comprehensive training sessions and played two preparatory matches against Sudan, aiming to fine-tune their strategies and tactics.
Despite a goalless draw and a 0-3 defeat against Sudan in their preparatory matches, coach Cabrera expressed satisfaction with the training camp, praising the facilities and hospitality extended to the team. The camp provided valuable opportunities for players to enhance their skills and build cohesion ahead of the crucial World Cup qualifiers.
Bangladesh's journey in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers began with matches against Australia and Lebanon, where they faced formidable challenges. While they suffered a 0-7 defeat against Australia in their away match, they managed to secure a commendable 1-1 draw against Lebanon in Dhaka.
With aspirations of progressing through the six-match Group I qualifiers, Bangladesh fields a formidable 28-member squad comprising skilled goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. The team's collective effort and determination will be put to the test as they strive to navigate through the challenges and secure vital points on their quest for World Cup glory.
