BPL fate in the total amount
A gathering of the professional football league committee of Bangladesh Football Federation yesterday heard ideas from the representing clubs of the Bangladesh Premier League regarding the league's fate in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The league was suspended after March 15, with only six rounds of matches having occurred. The meeting took place online, with representatives of the 13 clubs communicating through a videoconference.
BFF general secretary Abu Nayeem Shohag said that they received a few recommendations from the club representatives, like the most prominent of scrapping the league altogether. However, he said any decision regarding the league will never be taken before the last week of next month.
"There have been several suggestions made through the meeting. The clubs are in financial crisis and since nothing is certain at this point of time, almost all consensus from the clubs is scrapping the league. There were other suggestions such as removing relegation, helping the clubs through AFC/FIFA funds, and in the event the league is held how it may be held without foreign players. We will discuss these issues at the executive committee and might decide towards the end of next month, if situation allows," Shohag told The Daily Star.
