The Bangladesh women’s football team will play two international friendly matches against Singapore in early December.

However, there is uncertainty about finding Head Coach Peter Butler for those two matches.

It is learned that Peter Butler is diagnosed with cancer. He is undergoing treatment in his home country, England, in a serious condition.

The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) is currently awaiting his medical report.

Ritu Porna Chakma, Afeida Khandaker, Tohura Khatun, Monika Chakma & Co have started training in Chattogram since October 31.

Butler, who took charge of the main team from the BFF Elite Academy before the last SAFF Women’s Championship, returned to his home country, England, for treatment instead of going to Cahattogram with her girls.
