Emiliano Martinez’s brief stopover in Dhaka yesterday created quite a buzz among the host of Argentina fans in the country, but also left people with a sense of disappointment due to the short nature of the visit and heavy security protocols.

The former Liverpool and England midfielder said last month he would not be taking up an offer to join the team. However, the 43-year-old has had a change of heart and becomes the latest big name to join the growing league.

The Bangladesh senior men's football team returned to the country on Monday following an impressive 2023 SAFF Championship campaign in Bengaluru, India.

The 30-year-old goalkeeper spent 11 hours in the Bangladesh capital, with his itinerary featuring a visit to a digital business company office and a visit to the Prime Minister’s Office before his departure for the capital of West Bengal.

Bangladesh cricket team's former captain and Member of Parliament, Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, expressed his delight in meeting Argentine World Cup winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who is currently on a short trip to Dhaka.

The 30-year-old goalkeeper will not make any public appearance during an 11-hour visit to Dhaka en route to Kolkata, confirmed Satadru Dutta, the chief of the company that is bringing the Argentine to the subcontinent for the first time.

There is no shame against losing to a superior team when the performance remains incredible enough to win the hearts of fans and neutrals alike. Bangladesh on Saturday reinforced that notion against Kuwait in the 2023 SAFF Championship semi-finals as Bishwanath Ghosh and teammates operated like warriors on the pitch. In an interview with Anisur Rahman of The Daily Star, the 24-year-old revisited his journey in the latest regional tournament, as a professional footballer and more. The excerpts are as follows:

Argentina’s World Cup winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez will not make any public appearance during an 11-hour visit to Dhaka en route to Kolkata, confirmed Satadru Dutta, the chief of the company that is bringing the Argentine to the subcontinent for the first time.

There will, however, be a few selected guests apart from the Next Ventures officials, at the morning event including former national cricket team’s captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza and state minister for information and communication.

Former Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley announced his retirement from soccer at the age of 33, citing lingering injuries.

India beat Nepal 4-2 on penalties to cement their spot in the final of the ongoing SAFF Championships 2023 at the Sri Kanteerava Outdoor Stadium in India on Saturday.

Before taking to the ground for the warm-up session at the Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru ahead of the SAFF Championship semifinal against Kuwait, Bangladesh right-back Bishwanath Ghosh announced that he would distribute Tk 5 lakh among his teammates as a bonus if they could make it to the final for the first time in 18 years.

Bangladesh came into the SAFF Championship with little hope of making it to the semifinals, a stage they had failed to reach over the past five editions of the regional football extravaganza, and their poor performances in some recent friendlies cast further doubt on their ability to make it out of the group stage.

When the Bangladesh football team set off for Bengaluru around a fortnight ago to play the 2023 SAFF Championship, not many had expected them to cross the group-stage hurdle.
