Bangladesh were placed in Group B alongside UAE and Kyrgyzstan in the official draw of the Bangamata U-19 Women's International Gold Cup, which was held through a colourful ceremony at the Sonargaon Hotel in Dhaka.

The extended Moghbazar Flyover ramp near Sonargaon Hotel may make the already crammed street even more congested, according to an expert and project officials. Moreover, a 50-metre carriageway deck of the ramp, already built in front of the Bangladesh Film Development Corporation (popularly known as the FDC) at a cost of around Tk 9.5 crore, would now have to be demolished, said a project official.
