History

In 1981, the Bangladesh Football Federation started the President's Gold Cup, in which two Bangladesh national teams would participate, the national green team and the national red team. Gafur Baloch who guided the Bangladesh U19 team at the 1980 AFC Youth Championship was made the red team's head coach, and the team mainly consisted of players who participated in the AFC Youth Championship the previous year. Baloch guided them to the final where they would lose to South Korea XI. Since then the B team participated in every edition of the President's Gold Cup, they were known as Bangladesh Green from 1982 to 1986 and again from 1989 to 1993 while in 1987 they were called Bangladesh Blue when the team mainly consisted of players from Abahani Krira Chakra.[1][2][3] The blue team managed to defeat the Syria national team 1–0.[4] In the 1989 edition, the green team mainly consisting of youth international players defeated the India national team 1–0.[5]

The team has participated in the 2005 Myanmar Grand Royal Challenge Cup (as BFF XI)[6] and the 2008 Merdeka Cup (as Bangladesh B).[7][8][9]
