Bangladesh national hockey team's trip to Singapore has been delayed further, not for visa problem, but for the delay of Bangladesh Biman flight again, reports UNB.
The Singapore-bound Biman flight, originally scheduled to fly today at 10:30 am, was rescheduled for Thursday night at 12:00 hrs due to some internal problems. But Biman further rescheduled the flight departure today (Friday).
Bangladesh Hockey team, which got visa Thursday morning on schedule, will fly on Biman flight Friday morning to take part in the 3rd Men's AHF Cup Hockey to be held in Singapore on June 14-22 eyeing for the title of the nine-team meet.
General Secretary of Bangladesh Hockey Federation Sajed AA Adel will leave here for Singapore Friday night to reach the destination Saturday morning, the opening day of the meet.
Before leaving for Singapore, Bangladesh team is due to make a courtesy call on Bangladesh Hockey Federation President and Air Force Chief Air Marshall SM Ziaur Rahman at the BAF Shaheed Hall on Thursday night.
Bangladesh finished 7th in both the Asian Games Hockey in Doha in 2006 and also in the Asia Cup Hockey in Chennai in 2007 after six top seeded Asian teams -- India, Pakistan, Korea, China, Malaysia and Japan.
