Anticipation is running high across the country as Bangladesh is set to face Singapore in a crucial home match of the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers on June 10 at the Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka.
After a long break, hosting such a significant international football fixture—especially one tied to a prestigious tournament like the Asian Cup—has reinvigorated local fans. With tickets now on sale, online platforms have seen an overwhelming response, and organizers report the stadium is expected to be nearly sold out.
The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) confirmed that preparations for the match are nearly complete. The national squad is training intensively with the goal of clinching a victory at home. Head coach Javier Cabrera said, “Playing at home with the support of our fans gives us a tremendous boost. We are ready to give our best.”
The team’s recent performances have been encouraging, boosting morale ahead of this vital encounter. While Singapore holds a higher FIFA ranking and is considered a formidable opponent, football analysts believe that the home advantage and the energy of a packed stadium could tip the scales in favor of Bangladesh. Fans are hopeful of an upset and a night to remember.
Security measures have also been ramped up. Dhaka Metropolitan Police and other law enforcement agencies have laid out special plans to ensure a smooth and safe match-day experience.
All signs point to June 10 being more than just a football match. It promises to be a celebration of passion and patriotism—where dreams play out on the pitch and the stands echo with red and green pride.
