Dhaka: Four times world cup playing and Asian champions Australian Football team are expected to arrive in Dhaka on 14 November to play their away match of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers against hosts Bangladesh.

Australia, which crushed Bangladesh by 5-0 goals in their home match in Perth on 3 September, will meet Bangladesh in their away match on 17 November at the Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka.  

After the postponement of Australian cricket team’s tour to Bangladesh early this month showing security reasons, Australian Football team also lodged an appeal to FIFA to shift the match venue from Bangladesh for the same reason, but FIFA rejected their appeal.

In the five-team Group B, Jordan dominated the points table securing 13 points from five matches with unbeaten run.  

Australia followed them with nine points from four matches losing their away match to Jordan by 0-2 goals in Amman on 6 October.  

Bangladesh remained at the bottom with one point from five matches after making 1-1 draw with Tajikistan in home match in 16 June.
