Bangladesh women's national football team played a closed-door friendly match against Western Sydney Wanderers FC at the club's Field 3 training ground in Sydney as a part of preparation of their AFC Women's Asian Cup tourney.

The match formed an important part of the Tigresses' ongoing preparation camp in Australia, providing valuable competitive exposure against a top-tier A-League Women side, according to a message received here from Bangladesh Football Federation on Wednesday afternoon. 

This game allowed the coaching staff to assess tactical variations, squad rotation and overall match readiness in a controlled environment offering the Bangladesh side an opportunity to experiment with various formations and player combinations while maintaining tactical discipline.

As part of the structured recovery plan, there will be no field training session tomorrow (Thursday). Instead, the squad will undertake a swimming pool recovery session at Valentine Sports Park, emphasizing regeneration and physical maintenance following the day's competitive outing.

Bangladesh will compete in the AFC Women's Asian Cup for the first time in history.
