The Saaf Women’s Championship is held in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, in October. Bangladesh’s mission to retain the title this time. Before that, Peter Butler, the English coach of the Bangladesh team, wanted to play a warm-up match against a strong opponent to clear himself. But for now his hopes are crushed. Bhutan, who are at the bottom of the FIFA rankings, are favored by the FIFA women’s wing.
The FIFA window will be played in Thimpu on July 11 and 14. Bangladesh is at 140 in the FIFA ranking. And Bhutan at 173. Bhutan’s women’s team has not yet done anything worth mentioning in the SAFF tournament. So there are doubts about how much Sabina-Sanjida will be able to learn by playing against them. Bangladesh team coach Butler also wanted a strong opponent. So he was a little surprised to find Bhutan.
However, Butler did not agree to say anything in response to the question of how much Bangladesh can improve by playing the match against Bhutan. He only said, ‘I did not fix this match. This is not my responsibility. I have no comment. But of course it would have been better to have a stronger opponent. I am not the opponent. You can try talking to Miss Kiran (Chairman of Women’s Wing of Buff). He has a good say in this matter.’
Although Mahfuza Akhter Kiran, chairman of the women’s wing committee, said earlier, ‘We are not going to Lebanon. It’s hard to find a better team right now. So I have to go to Bhutan and play.’
