Bangladesh’s hopes of reaching the finals of the AFC U-17 Women’s Asian Cup came to an end after suffering a heavy 5-0 defeat against Chinese Taipei in their last qualifying match at the Aqaba Stadium in Jordan yesterday.

To reach the final round for a third time, Bangladesh must deliver a stronger, more composed performance than against Jordan.

Bangladesh have been drawn in Group H alongside hosts Jordan and Chinese Taipei for the AFC U-17 Women’s Asian Cup Qualifiers, as announced during the official draw held at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) headquarters in Malaysia today.
