Brazil
ambassador in Bangladesh, Wanja Campos Nobrega, has offered Bangladesh’s
football coaches training in her country.
While
delivering a speech during an event titled ‘Brazilian Foreign Policy and
Brazil-Bangladesh Relations’, the Brazilian ambassador said, “We are very glad
to offer training for your (BD) coached in Brazil.”
Held
at Dhaka, the capital city of the country, the event was organized by
Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies
(BIISS).
Brazil
is considered to be one of the major powerhouses in world football with five
world cup titles to their credit. They hosted this year’s FIFA World Cupwhere
they reached the semi-final before being thrashed by the eventual champion
Germany.
Bangladesh,
on the other hand, is among the minnows of football. They have never qualified for FIFA World
Cup. Even in the AFC Asia Cup, Bangladesh has so far made just one
appearance which came in 1980 in Kuwait.
So,
it would be a great opportunity for Bangladesh’s coaches to get trained by the
Brazilian coaches in Brazil.
