Following Bangladesh’s 2-1 defeat against Singapore in the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers on Tuesday, midfielder Hamza Choudhury expressed both disappointment and pride in a heartfelt message. “We didn’t get the result we wanted, but we can be proud as a team and as a nation,” Hamza wrote. “We have to stay positive because this is just the beginning. Insha’Allah, we will soon reach where we want to be. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support. See you in October.” Head coach Javier Cabrera also echoed Hamza’s sentiment, praising the team’s fighting spirit despite the loss.
