President of the BFF Kazi Salahuddin disclosed this matter at a press conference in the BFF House on Sunday.
Salahuddin said, ” We planned to arrange four to five international events on the occasion of birth centenary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. But we could not do that due to coronavirus outbreak.”
He said, ” We want to return football in the ground to overcome the Coved-19. We have invited Nepal here to arrange two FIFA international friendly matches between Bangladesh and Nepal. The upcoming matches will be held after maintaining the health protocol of Bangladesh Government.
The BFF boss said, ” The booters were out of field around seven months. So, it is a tough task to regain the hundred percent fitness in a short time.”
He said, ” We went to Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday to watch the practise of booters of Bangladesh. The booers are taking part at the practice session wearing such kind of jerseys, which we could not get when we played international or domestic matches.”
