Bangladesh will take part in the 3rd Grand Royal Challenge Cup to be held in Myanmar on November 1-7, reports UNB.
The Under-23 booters will represent Bangladesh in the tournament, BFF acting general secretary Manjoor Hossain Malu told the news agency.
He said that a letter from the BFF confirming Bangladesh's participation in the tournament would be sent Tuesday night to Myanmar Football Federation.
"We will pick up a preliminary squad in the first week of September after the return of national team coach Syed Nayeemudiin, who is now vacationing in India," Malu said.
Earlier, on August 18, the Myanmar Football Federation (MFF) invited BFF to participate in the tournament.
The MFF also invited four other countries -- Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam -- to take part in the tourney.
In 2005, Bangladesh finished runners-up in the Grand Royal Challenge Cup tournament.
