33 U16 boys to join training camp
Dhaka, July 30: The Bangladesh Football Federation has selected a pool of 33 U16 boys to join a training camp immediately following a local competition in Dhaka.
The new crop of U16 boys will have a residency training camp at BKSP in Savar for just about two weeks before leaving for Nepal on August 16 to take part in the SAFF competition.
This new age group team will stay together for a few years and will hopefully gel into a well-knit football unit.
The federation plans to focus on these age group players increasingly more to ensure there is perpetual supply of talented footballers in the pipeline.
Age group grooming has been very much part of the federation’s priorities in the development plan. This is hopefully the beginning of another age group phase.
