Take a look at the 23-member Sri Lanka squad that will play their trade in the SAFF Championship…
Sri Lankan national team coach Amir Alagic was overseeing the preparations of his team for the SAFF Championship 2021 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. They were supposed to fly to Qatar but due to visa problems, they had to change their destination to Saudi Arabia. They reached Maldives on Tuesday and will now undergo a three-day quarantine.
Edison Figurado was recalled to the national team after a few years, and Aman Faizer was also summoned after he missed out on the World Cup qualifiers against Lebanon and South Korea in June. Marvin Hamilton (Whitehawk FC) and Dillon De Silva (QPR U23) will join the squad directly in Maldives from their respective outfits in England.
The Golden Army will play their opening match against Bangladesh on October 1 at the National Football Stadium in Male.
