Bdbusinessdaily.com – Bangladesh face Jordan in second U-17 women’s friendly on 13 September, with the visitors looking to end their short tour on another positive note. The final FIFA international friendly will kick off at 8:00pm Bangladesh time at JFA Field in Amman.
The Bangladesh Under-17 women’s national football team arrive for the return match after an emphatic 5-0 victory over Jordan in the first friendly. While that result gave the side a strong start to the series, the second meeting will offer another valuable test as the hosts seek a response on home ground.
Important preparation for Asian Cup qualifiers
Bangladesh face Jordan in second encounter as part of their preparations for the AFC U-17 Women’s Asian Cup 2027 Qualifiers in Uzbekistan. The two-match series gives the young players experience of international football away from home and provides the coaching staff with another chance to assess the squad in competitive conditions.
Friendlies are an important stage of preparation for youth teams. Beyond the result, they allow players to work on team shape, communication, ball possession and decision-making against an opponent with a different style of play. A second match against the same side can also show how effectively a team adjusts when the opposition changes its approach.
Bangladesh held their third training session at the match venue on 11 September. The session was planned with the players’ workload in mind after the opening friendly. Those who featured in the first match completed recovery work, while the remaining players took part in warm-ups, possession drills and small-sided games.
All players in the Bangladesh squad were reported to be in good health ahead of the final fixture. With the full group available, the team will hope to produce another organised and committed display before turning its attention to the qualifying campaign.
Five scorers in opening 5-0 win
The first friendly saw Bangladesh score five goals without reply, with Alpi Akter, Reya, Mousumi Akter, Umma Kulsum and Kumari Payel Rani all getting on the scoresheet. The spread of scorers highlighted Bangladesh’s attacking contribution from across the side rather than dependence on a single player.
That opening performance gives Bangladesh confidence, but Jordan are likely to approach the second game with added determination. For the visitors, maintaining concentration from the opening whistle and managing the match with discipline will be key to building on their earlier result.
Bangladesh face Jordan in second and final friendly with an opportunity to complete a clean sweep in Amman. More significantly, the match gives the squad another chance to gain experience together before the AFC U-17 Women’s Asian Cup 2027 Qualifiers.
