Football Association (FA). Then it was

awaited from FIFA. Cuba Mitchell has also received that. As a result, there was no obstacle for him to play for Bangladesh.

Bangladesh received this good news just before their Asian Cup qualifier against Singapore, although his chances of playing in the match on June 10 are slim.

Cuba received clearance from FIFA to play for Bangladesh last night. The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) has confirmed the matter. As a result, he has received a passport, a no-objection letter from England and FIFA approval. There is no longer any obstacle for the English midfielder to play for Bangladesh.

Cuba Mitchell is a regular face of

the Sunderland U-21 team, a club that has just been promoted from the English Championship to the English Premier League. He was born in England. He also grew up there. Although Cuba, an expatriate in England, has a Jamaican father and a Bangladeshi mother, he had the opportunity to represent Bangladesh according to FIFA rules. He took advantage of that opportunity.

Cuba Mitchell expressed his interest in playing for Bangladesh a couple of months ago. Even then, the BFF took the initiative to prepare his documents. His birth certificate and passport were prepared within a month and a half. Even then, Cuba received a no-objection letter from the English Football Association. Finally, FIFA also gave him official permission.

However, even if FIFA approves,

the chances of him playing in the Singapore match are very low. Because the player registration deadline for the Singapore match passed yesterday, June 3. The approval from FIFA came a day late. As a result, his debut in the June window has also been in doubt.

The possibility is not completely gone. If the federation can get him into the team through special arrangements, then he has a chance to play. However, if not, he could make his debut in the Asian Cup qualifiers against Hong Kong in the October window.

With Hamza Chowdhury and Shamit

Som being allowed to play for Bangladesh in Cuba, coach Javier Cabrera can afford to build his midfield with expatriate footballers. There is a high possibility of seeing something like this in the October window, if not in June.
