BFF sets Jan date for B.League

The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) is likely to stage the second version of the professional football league, popularly called the B.League from mid-January next year.
Chairman of B.League Abdur Rahim provided the news after a meeting with the club representatives yesterday. Except Chittagong Abahani and Khulna Abahani all the club representatives met with the committee.
"We want to start the league from January 15 as the club officials have assured us that they are ready to play the league at any time," said Rahim.
But co-ordinator of the clubs Mustaqur Rahman said that they want assurance about sponsor of the competition first as they have yet to receive their last meet's participating money.
"What we demanded is that they should confirm a sponsor first and give the share of the clubs to prepare the team. We also told them to arrange a warm-up tournament as well as the first division league before the competition," said Mustaqur.
Rahim however hoped that they will get a good sponsor this time to run the show properly.
"We have yet to receive the last year sponsorship money but we are hopeful that we can arrange a good sponsor for the second meet," he assured.
Meanwhile, the inaugural league had been postponed twelve times.
