BFF asks clubs' reconsideration

Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) yesterday requested the Dhaka professional league clubs to reconsider their decision to not take part in this month's B. League transfers and the proposed Swadhinata Cup tournament.
In a letter to the eight clubs -- Abahani, Mohammedan, Muktijoddha, Sheikh Russel, Brothers Union, Arambagh, Farashganj and Rahmatganj -- that declined to take part in the players' bourse until a new BFF executive committee is elected, the BFF said that the clubs should rethink about the decision for the greater interest of the game and the players.
It were the eight clubs who had agreed to go into the transfer from March 15 and start the league from early April in a previous meeting with the league committee, which had proposed to begin the transfer in February.
"To honour the BFF's request, we will sit to discuss this," said Mohammedan Sporting Club's general secretary Lokman Hossain Bhuiyan yesterday.
"But there is little hope of the clubs' reversing this decision," he added.
