From there, he is expected to travel to his ancestral home in Snanghat, Bahubal Upazila, Habiganj on the same day. He will then head to Dhaka on Tuesday and will practice with the team for one day.

The Bangladesh football team will return to the country on Tuesday after completing their conditioning camp in Saudi Arabia. On the same day, Hamza Choudhury will arrive in Dhaka at 9:00 pm. The following morning, he will travel with the team to Shillong, India.

On March 25, Bangladesh will play against India in the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong, Meghalaya, India. If all goes as planned, this match will fulfill Hamza Choudhury’s dream of playing for the red-and-green jersey.
