BFCA formed to develop football
In a quest to develop the country's football, the Bangladesh Football Club Association (BFCA) was formed in the presence of representatives from 57 clubs out of the total 67 at a city hotel yesterday.
The Bangladesh Premier League, Bangladesh Championship League, Senior Division Football League, 2nd Division Football League and 3rd Division Football League club representatives gathered alongside some well-known organisers at the city hotel to discuss the different aspects of football.
Later, they formed the club association with Chittagong Abahani football team committee chairman and Saif PowerTec managing director Tarafder Ruhul Amin being named as president while Arambagh KS general secretary Mominul Haque Saeed was named as general secretary.
The full committee will be declared soon. Speakers at the discussion also suggested forming a fund to help small clubs, ailing organisers and injured footballers as the clubs do not get such help from anyone.
They also came down heavily on the Bangladesh Football Federation's activities as the national football team currently sit on the bottom of FIFA Rankings.
Newly appointed BFCA president Tarafder has declared that they will give away Tk 5 lakh each to Bangladesh Championship League clubs, TK 3.5 lakh each to Senior Division Football League clubs, Tk 2.5 lakh each to 2nd Division clubs and Tk 2 lakh each for 3rd Division clubs.
The reason behind the formation of Bangladesh Football Club Association is widely believed to be a voting block ahead of the BFF polls next year.
