BOA to start SAG preps this month
The Bangladesh Olympic Association (BOA) is looking forward to start training camps by this month to prepare the athletes for next year's South Asian Games (SAG).
Dhaka will host the 11th edition of the SA Games.
BOA secretary-general Kutubuddin Ahmed yesterday told that they have decided to start camps on December 18.
Two coaches from Korea for athletics and archery will arrive in Dhaka within one week, the BOA chief executive informed.
The Korean national Olympic committee had promised to help Bangladesh by providing coaches and sport facilities after the BOA supported Korean city Ichon's bid to host the 2014 Asian Games.
Kutubuddin, who agreed that Bangladesh must prepare hard to regain the gold medal in football, however, said they have no plan for football coaches.
But he said that the BOA would be ready to provide logistic supports to Bangladesh Football Federation for the SAG training camp.
The BOA has already got Tk 7 crore, the first instalment of the total 16-crore taka budget for training and preparation.
