BFF introduces token system today
Sports Reporter
For the first time the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) will hand over tokens from today to footballers taking part in the inter-club transfers.The BFF has taken the initiative to stop players from taking money from two clubs, which had created a lot of disputes between clubs in the past. After collecting their tokens from the federation office at the Bangabandhu National Stadium, footballers will submit them to their desired clubs to confirm their registration during the inter-club players' transfer. The eagerly-anticipated Premier Division Football League is expected to kick off in next March at the Bangabandhu National Stadium. Meanwhile, the BFF plans to celebrate their return to the grand venue with an AFC Cup match on March 9. The transfer was originally scheduled for December 17-20 but the league committee extended the date by two days to allow Mohammedan Sporting Club to compete in an invitational tournament in Nepal. Mohammedan have been given permission by the BFF to take part in the Himalayan Bank Football Tournament that begins on December 13 at the Dasharath Stadium in Kathmandu. The Motijheel outfit also confirmed South Korean coach Man Young Kang ahead of the tournament and the league. Kang, who is no stranger to Dhaka football as he coached the national side and Muktijoddha in the nineties, is expected to arrive in the capital today along with two Korean players Tae Young Kim and Hung Young Thin.
