BFF plans for Feb concert
The Bangladesh Football Federation is all set to host a concert at the Bangabandhu National Stadium in mid February in order to raise funds for youth football development after it received green signal from sports regulatory body National Sports Council (NSC).
The BFF, which is planning to organise the concert jointly with an event management company named 'Zero Degree', is looking forward to host artistes from neighbouring countries as well as from Bangladesh and expect to raise significant amount of money from the event.
“We have received the authorisation from the NSC and we will sign a deal with the event management company, Zero Degree, soon. We hope the concert, which we will likely host on February 13, will generate significant amount of fund which will be used for youth development, especially for the BFF Academy in Sylhet,” informed BFF's senior vice-president Abdus Salam Murshedy yesterday.
It may be mentioned here that BFF had previously opposed to hosting concerts at the premier football venue of the country, as these concerts often cause much damage to the pitch. Murshedy, however, said they will take every precaution to make sure the pitch is not damaged by the concert this time.
