SAFF U-16 Women's Championship Postponed

A month ago, the SAFF U-19 Women's Tournament was postponed. The SAFF U-16 Women's Tournament has been postponed anew. The event was supposed to take place in the last week of August. Although Bangladesh hosted the U-19 women's tournament, it did not host the U-16.

Golam Rabbani Chotan, head coach of the Bangladesh national women's football team, sees the decision as normal. "Hopefully these tournaments will resume if the situation is favorable. We are waiting for that."

Chotan is now busy with the national team to qualify for the Asian Cup. Bangladesh hosted its own group to qualify for the Asian Cup. AFC has taken the initiative to hold the match at a neutral venue amid the Coronavrus situation.

Bangladesh is planning to play two friendly matches in Nepal before the qualifiers in September.

This year's SAFF also has a game in the men's under-stage. The schedule for the SAFF U-15 men's football is in October. The national team's SAFF championship has now shifted from September to October. It is difficult for SAFF to hold two tournaments in the same month.
