Stadium sans viewers
A friend of me said: Why does the football stadium in Bangladesh remain empty? I said:: There are three reasons. First one is gradual fall of the players’ skills and technique.
The second one is the management crisis. Look, there is no football right now in the country unlike rest of Asia. The sports ministry also seems less interested in promoting soccer for which, in Chittagong, the second edition of an international football tournament could not be entertaining for lack of audiences in the stadium.
When Iran, Asia No. 1, has already cruised into the World Cup Football 2018 final round, the future of football in our country is at stake.
The third reason is the disappointing advertisement both in the newspapers and the television channels, and the football federation’s makeshift response. I concluded my judgment saying, there are solutions in the problems.’
