The Bangladesh junior girls, who have been playing amazing football in recent times, will have to face a real hard battle against Japan, one of the most successful teams in the tournament’s history with three titles.
But, before taking the Japan challenge, the Maria and Co will have to play against hosts Thailand on their own ground. Therefore, the football lovers can hope that there will be mouthwatering football clashes in group A.
Thailand, who are organizing the tournament for the second consecutive terms, will challenge the Bengal girls on the second day of the tournament.
The top two teams in each group will progress to the semi-finals, with the two eventual finalists – who will both go on to represent Asia at FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup India 2020 – to play off for the title on September 28.
