The two former star footballers arrived in Dhaka on Monday to conduct a football workshop for three days as part of a ‘Cultural Exchange Programme’ of the US State Department titled ‘Sports United’.
The programme is being hosted by the American Center of US Embassy, who is assisting the BFF in this regard.
