Star footballer Hamza Chowdhury has arrived in Dhaka to play for Bangladesh in the SAFF Championship in the red-and-green jersey. He reached Dhaka on Monday morning. His arrival has multiplied the excitement among football fans in the country ahead of the SAFF Championship.

If everything goes well, Hamza will be seen on the field against Sri Lanka on November 11. Those concerned believe his inclusion will strengthen the team and lift the confidence of his teammates.

The Bangladesh team is dreaming of something special in this SAFF, making use of Hamza's ability, enriched by his experience in European football.

Meanwhile, Farhan Ali was scheduled to arrive in Dhaka at 9:15am on the same day. However, an unexpected flight delay meant he could not return home on time.

He is now having to wait for a long time in the transit city of Doha. It is learnt that after the long wait in Doha, he will set foot on Bangladeshi soil this evening.

The arrival of the two star footballers, Hamza and Farhan, has raised expectations around Bangladesh's SAFF campaign. Supporters are now waiting for the Sri Lanka match on November 11.

Those concerned believe the prospect of Hamza playing in Bangladesh's first match of the SAFF Championship will give the team extra strength.

Once Farhan reaches Dhaka in the evening, the team's preparations will gather further momentum. Bangladesh's SAFF hopes now rest on the two of them.
