Bangladesh women's football team prepares for their first AFC Asian Cup appearance in Australia starting March 1. Twenty-nine players began intensive training Sunday at Korean EPZ facility in Anwara, Chattogram. The Bangladesh Football Federation canceled plans for a Japan training camp due to scheduling conflicts with FIFA window matches in Dhaka during November. The 20-day Chattogram camp receives full management from Yangwan without BFF financial support.
Players return to Dhaka October 16, while teammates from Bhutan arrive October 17. After brief Dhaka training, the squad travels to Thailand for international matches. BFF President Ritu Porna Das calls the campaign Mission Australia. Coach Peter Butler's temporary illness delayed preparations by three weeks from the original September 1 start date.
