BFF wants to scout
The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) has showed interest to get involved with the Bangabandhu and Bangamata Gold Cup football tournaments, which involve thousands of primary schools from across the country.
BFF president Kazi Salahuddin and the federation's vice president Badal Roy yesterday met with the Primary and Mass Education minister Mostafizur Rahman Fizar where they talked about providing technical assistance and actively involve its coaches in both the tournaments.
“Bangabandhu and Bangamata Gold Cup tournaments are being held each year. Such a tournament involving so many schools is quite rare in the world and we want to take this opportunity to make sure these kids continue playing football,” said Roy, who is also the chairman the development committee.
Roy informed that they have made some proposals -- removing bar on players' height, allowing players to wear boots, strictly maintaining age-bar and scouting talented players from these competitions for further training.
“We will be clear about the pattern of the tournaments at the next meeting on October 19 and then we will decide what assistance we might offer and at which level,” said Roy.
Roy also requested the ministry for providing a list of 400 players from the last edition so that further training could be given to those players in a bid to sending the under-12 team to Super Mokh Cup in Malaysia in December.
