U-23 booters training camp begins

The national Under-23 football team started their camp today for September’s Asian Games at the Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishthan (BKSP).
The booters had their practice Monday morning under the supervision of head coach Lodewijk de Kruif and assistant coach Rene Koster.
The camp size has been increased from 25 to 29 members after the National Teams Committee opted to draft in four players – Aminul Islam Sajib, Abdul Malek, Atiqur Rahman Farhad and Mezbah Uddin to the initially announced 25-member squad.
Earlier, on Sunday, the team along with the Dutch coaches went to Savar where they will undergo training for over a month before leaving for Korea on September 12 with a 20-member squad.
The football event of the Asian Games will begin on September 16 although the groupings are yet to be decided.
