Brazil offers training for BD football coaches

Brazil, the five times World Cup champions, on Sunday offered to train Bangladesh’s football coaches in the Latin American country to help improve the standard of Bangladesh football. ‘We’re very glad to offer training for your (BD) coaches in Brazil,’ said Brazilian Ambassador in Dhaka Wanja Campos Nobrega which she thinks could be a very interesting aspect of cooperation between Bangladesh and Brazil. The offer came at a country lecture programme titled ‘Brazilian Foreign Policy and Brazil-Bangladesh Relations’ held in the city. Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies (BIISS) arranged the event with Chairman of BIISS Board of Governors Ambassador Munshi Faiz Ahmad in the chair. BIISS Director General Maj Gen SM Shafiuddin Ahmed also spoke on the occasion. Brazil, being the most successful soccer team in the history of the World Cup was thrashed by Germany in the 2014 World Cup semifinal in early July, according to a news agency.
