DHAKA, Sept 9, 2025 (BSS) - The Bangladesh national football team has remained 
confined in a hotel in Kathmandu and the team's flight to Dhaka has been 
cancelled as escalated violence in Nepal compelled the airport authorities to 
cancel all flights from Tribhuvan International Airport.

Bangladesh Football Federation media department confirmed the latest 
development this (Tuesday) afternoon. 

The statement reads that Bangladesh national football team was scheduled to 
return home from Nepal on Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight BG 0372 at 3 pm 
today but considering the current situation in Nepal, the team's journey has 
been cancelled. Further updates on the team's return will be announced soon.

Local authority All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) and Bangladesh 
consulate to Kathmandu have ensured Bangladesh football team's safe and 
secure stay in Kathmandu, the statement added.

The Bangladesh team was originally scheduled to return home on Wednesday 
(Sept 10), but as the second and final FIFA friendly match against Nepal was 
called off following Monday's protest, the Bangladesh Football federation 
brought the scheduled flight from Wednesday to today (Tuesday).

Bangladesh's first Friendly match against Nepal ended in a goalless draw held 
on September 6.
