The Bangladesh women's football team played a closed-door match in Sydney against Western Sydney Wanderers FC as part of their final preparations for the upcoming AFC Women's Asian Cup. The match, held at the club’s home ground, allowed coach Peter Butler to test tactics, assess alternative players, and strengthen team coordination. Although the result was not disclosed, the game was described as highly competitive, boosting the team’s morale before the tournament.
Coach Butler had earlier expressed concern about inadequate preparation, as planned training camps and friendly matches in Thailand and the Philippines did not materialize. Instead, the players prepared domestically through the local women’s league, which he considered insufficient for the high-level competition ahead. Despite these challenges, the team is now focused on mental readiness and tactical improvement.
Bangladesh will begin their Asian Cup campaign on March 3 against defending champions China, followed by matches against North Korea and Uzbekistan. The team is currently undergoing recovery sessions at Valentine Sports Park before resuming training.
