Qatar to take on Bangladesh in Asian U16 qualifiers

DOHA, September 18, 2019-Hosts Qatar will kick off their campaign in the AFC U-16 Championship 2020 against Bangladesh in their Group E match at the Aspire Academy Indoor Stadium on Wednesday.

Yemen and Bhutan are the other teams in the group.

Qatar coach Abdul Razzaq Haider has named a 24-member team for the qualifying campaign that would give the young footballers a great exposure.

The Qatari juniors underwent a training camp in Italy from August 1 to 13 followed by their participation in a tournament from Aug 25 to 30 which also featured Jordan, Indonesia, Maldives and Lebanon.
