A team is stuck while playing FIFA Days in Nepal, players call for help

During the FIFA Days in September, Bangladesh traveled to Nepal's capital Kathmandu to play two friendly matches. This was considered a practice match to prepare for the 2027 Asian Cup qualifying round that will take place in October. In the first match on September 6, the two teams drew 0-0.

The Bangladesh team stayed behind to prepare for the rematch on September 9. The match was abandoned due to protests. However, it is worth noting that after the match, the Bangladesh team was unable to leave Nepal due to widespread riots. Protests took place across the country, causing traffic disruption.

The airport was paralyzed while roads were difficult to move due to protesters burning everywhere. Most recently, a Bangladesh Airlines flight was forced to return to the capital Dhaka because it was not allowed to land in Kathmandu due to conditions at Tribhuvan International Airport.

All of this has affected foreign guests. As for the Bangladesh team, they have been stuck in the capital of Nepal for many days. Many players have called for help, they are very anxious and worried about their safety.

Bangladesh officials are working to bring the team back. The country's Ministry of Youth and Sports said the "government is making every effort" to ensure the safe return of the national team.

A statement from the Bangladesh Ministry of Youth and Sports issued yesterday (September 10): " The government is making every effort to ensure the safe return of the Bangladesh national football team. At the moment, the team is still in Nepal. Youth and Sports Advisor Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain is constantly monitoring the situation to ensure the team's safe return and smooth return.

Officials from the Ministry of Youth and Sports are working hard and are ready to take the necessary measures. We cannot announce any further plans for the return of the team. We are looking forward to welcoming our players home.”
