Bangladesh football team will play a practice match tonight against Al Wydad club of Saudi Arabia, a Taif-based football club, according to the team's manager Amer Khan.

In a video message sent from Taif, Saudi Arabia, Amer Khan claimed that the team will play the practice match at 1:30am (Bangladesh time) tonight.

"Since our plan to play against Sudan did not materialise, we had options between Al Wydad, Okaz FC and Al Faisal Club to choose from. We thought Al Wydad was the better option," Amer said.

Bangladesh were supposed to play a practice match against Sudan before playing two matches against local Saudi clubs during their 11-day preparation in the Saudi camp for AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers fixture against India on March 25.

However, Sudan team, who are supposedly in Saudi Arabia now, declined to play at the 11th hour.
