Kazi Mohammad Salahuddin-led panel has promised to give priority to school and district football if it wins the upcoming Bangladesh Football Federation election slated for April 30.
“If we’re elected again, we’ll attach priority to school and district football for the development of game,” said sitting BFF Senior Vice-president Abdus Salam Murshedy on Monday.
Murshedy, who is again contesting for his previous post in the ensuing election, was talking to reporters after submitting nomination papers of their 22-member panel at the BFF House.
Admitting that they might have some lapses in the previous two terms, Murshedy said, “But we tried our best to keep the football in field round the year arranging local and international football tournaments.”
He expected that the 134 councilors will evaluate their previous performance giving their mandates in the election.
