DHAKA, Feb 25, 2026 (BSS)-Bangladesh women's national football team played a 
closed-door friendly match against Western Sydney Wanderers FC at the club's 
Field 3 training ground in Sydney as a part of preparation of their AFC 
Women's Asian Cup tourney.
 
The match formed an important part of the Tigresses' ongoing preparation camp 
in Australia, providing valuable competitive exposure against a top-tier A-
League Women side, according to a message received here from Bangladesh 
Football Federation today (Wednesday) afternoon. 

This game allowed the coaching staff to assess tactical variations, squad 
rotation and overall match readiness in a controlled environment offering the 
Bangladesh side an opportunity to experiment with various formations and 
player combinations while maintaining tactical discipline.

As part of the structured recovery plan, there will be no field training 
session tomorrow (Thursday). Instead, the squad will undertake a swimming 
pool recovery session at Valentine Sports Park, emphasizing regeneration and 
physical maintenance following the day's competitive outing.
