The Professional League Committee of the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) is planning to introduce a new tournament titled 'Champions Cup', styled after the cash-rich Super Cup, for the Bangladesh Championship League clubs.
Abdus Salam Murshedy, chairman of the Professional League Committee (PLC), informed that the tournament would feature six top teams of the Championship League from the upcoming season.
"We want to introduce the new tournament for the second tier teams which will be like the Super Cup," said Murshedy, after a meeting at the BFF House yesterday.
Meanwhile, the PLC is scrutinising a letter issued by Mohammedan SC on September 19 where the Motijheel outfit claimed that five of its players -- Zahid Hossain, Mamun Miah, Nahidul Islam, Shakil Ahmed and Shariful Islam -- have committed to play for other clubs although they took money from the club for the coming season.
The committee also approved the Bangladesh Premier League bylaws and sent it to participating clubs and extended the deadline of the ongoing local players' transfer to October 23 instead of October 20.
