BFF selects two boys, one girl for Gazprom Football for Friendship

Among 150 participants of under-12 age group booters, Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) has selected two boys and one girl for the 7th season of the Gazprom's Football for Friendship to be held in Madrid in May-June this year, reports UNB.

But the BFF is yet to announce the names of the players.

Head of BFF competitions, Hasan Mahmud, said, "The selection process has been finished and we have picked up three kids--two boys and one girl---name of which will be announced within two or three days".

Replying to a question for delay, Hasan further said, "We need to talk with their parents regarding some issues like visa, passport and others, we can announce their names after the consent of the guardians."

Gazprom Football for Friendship is an international children's social programme since 2013. Bangladesh is being taking part in this international programme for the third time.

BFF has previously sent two under-12 booters to represent Bangladesh in FIFA World Cup held in Russia 2018. But this year, Bangladesh will send three representatives- a goalkeeper, a midfielder and a defender who will attend a special campaign in Madrid from May 29 to June 02. They will enjoy the final match of the UEFA Champions League on June 01.
