Football Federation of Sri Lanka (FFSL) looking for overseas talents with Sri Lankan origins.

Recent past, Sri Lankan Men’s Football team included overseas players such as Waseem Razeek and Marvin Hamilton with Sri Lankan backgrounds to the national pool to excel their performance in the international arena.

But this time we got to know that, FFSL has discussed with 28 years old Right Full-Back Yasmin Bunter England Professional Football player who is playing for FC Basel to play for the Women’s National Team. Where she is eligible to play for Sri Lanka through her mother.

Furthermore, Having started her senior football career at Fulham alongside studying at Farnborough College, Bunter decided to head to the States in 2010 to study at Francis Marion University in South Carloina. After graduation, the defender has since spent four years in Switzerland where she has won numerous trophies.

She played three teams in the Champions League qualifying round, which is a group stage in the women’s version. With only the top placed team in each qualifying group making it into the main tournament, Bunter’s side narrowly missed out on qualification, winning two of their three games.

Moreover, FFSL President Mr. Anura De Silva stated to Ceylon Today Newspaper that Yasmin Bunter visited Sri Lanka last year, but unfortunately, she is suffering from an ACL injury at that but we are in touch with her till the Covid-19 outbreak. But after this situation brought to control, we will be in touch with her again to see the possibility to bring her to the national team.
