Astro-turf in Kamalapur
The Birshreshtha Shaheed Mostafa Kamal Stadium will have an international-standard astro-turf by this year, confirmed FIFA development officer Shaji Prabhakaran yesterday.
“It will be an international standard and top quality turf (105X65 meters) and will be capable of holding full-fledged international matches,” said Prabhakaran at a press conference at the BFF House yesterday.
“I hope the installation process will be completed by the end of September and the tender process will begin in May-June,” said the FIFA officer, who later inspected the Kamalapur Stadium.
Bangladesh is getting the second turf under FIFA Goal project-4 after FIFA gave astro-turfs at the Balur math adjacent to the BFF House and the BFF academy in Sylhet.
Prabhakaran said that FIFA is looking forward to extending more support in future and keen to involve in grassroot development as well as development of women's football.
During the press conference, FIFA also handed over 7000 Adidas footballs for the development of Bangladesh football, where Prabhakaran urged the government to come forward in supporting football like they do in cricket.
