Dhaka, February 14: There are thousands of Argentina-football supporters in Bangladesh. After the last World Cup in Qatar, this support has taken the form of good relations between the two countries. Not only Messi or Messi's coach, many footballers and organizers of the country also know the name of Bangladesh. They also flew the red-green flag of Bangladesh during the inauguration of a league in Argentina a few days ago. BFF has also invited the world champion team to come to Bangladesh for the second time.

Bangladesh wants to use this good relationship between the two countries for the development of football. That is why the Ministry of Youth and Sports has taken the initiative to enter into a four-year agreement with the Argentine government. A draft of what is to be included in the agreement has also been prepared. If this draft is finalized soon, the responsible officials of the two countries will sign the agreement.

What will be in this agreement between Bangladesh and Argentina? Parimal Singha, secretary of the National Sports Council, said, "A draft of the agreement has already been done. There is also a meeting in the ministry on Tuesday regarding this draft agreement. There is a possibility of finalization after careful analysis of the draft agreement. Once the agreement is finalized, it will be executed between the two countries only after the approval of the Minister of State for Youth and Sports. We will focus on our interests in the contract. They (Argentina) will want to do it at their convenience. We will look at our interests."

After the first meeting between the two countries on Monday, Parimal Singha, secretary of the National Sports Council, said that the issue of our football development has been mentioned in various important ways in the approved agreement. Our footballers will go to Argentina, their footballers will come. The coach will be sent there in Manonannane. In a word, the agreement will contain as much effort as we can to develop football from Argentina.

The officials of the sports administration think that through this agreement, the football development relationship between the two countries will be strengthened. Through this agreement, the football associations, professional clubs and training institutions of the two countries will be able to improve their skills. The football officials of the two countries will be able to gain more skills in practice techniques through the exchange of experiences.
