The Bangladesh Under-19 boys football touched down safely in Bahrain this afternoon to play in the qualifying round of the AFC U-19 Championship-2020 with a hope to qualify in the next round, according to a message received here from Bangladesh Football Federation.
Bangladesh, pitted in Group E along with Jordan, Bhutan and hosts Bahrain, will play hosts Bahrain on November 6, Jordan on November 8 and Bhutan on November 10, all at the Khalifa Sports City Stadium in Manama.
