Maldives coach Ibrahim Halim didn't make his heart heavy though they lost 4-0 to hosts Nepal in SAFF U15 championship.

Halim said his boys are very young (13-14 Yrs of age) and playing international tournament for the first time.

"My players are very young. This is their first international trip. Actually, we are building our team for future", said Halim.

He also added that climatic condition took toll on them.

"It is too hot in Maldives. But it is cold here (in Kathmandu). Our players find it difficult. This is not an excuse. I am happy to use this platform for my players", added Halim.
