Bangladesh to get four mini turfs

The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) is all set to get four mini artificial turfs in four different districts under the AFC Mini Pitch scheme as an inspection team of Limonta Sport, an appointed company of Asian Football Confederation, yesterday arrived in the capital to assess the project areas.

The inspection team will travel to Nilphamari, Satkhira, Madaripur and Feni to assess the grounds and measure the expenditure for installing 20-40 feet artificial turf, goalpost, floodlight and Iron-made fence at each venue.

“We sent names of 10 districts but the AFC has selected four districts after scrutinising the papers we provided,” BFF vice president Tabith M Awal said. “To install the artificial turf, we need grounds which must be leased in favour of BFF for at least 10 years.” 

“The installation of turfs depends on the assessment reports of Limonta Sport which has been appointed by the AFC to inspect the grounds and measure the expenditure. The instalment work will start as soon as the final approval from AFC comes on the basis of the assessment report of Limonta,” said Awal.
