BD Games to be held next year
The Bangladesh Olympic Association (BOA) have decided to hold the ninth edition of the Bangladesh Games in April next year, about seven years since the last edition was held in late April, 2013.
“We are going to hold the ninth edition of the Bangladesh Games from April 1 to 10, 2020, which will see the 100th birth anniversary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. That is why we will name the Games after Bangabandhu,” BOA secretary general Syed Shaheed Reza said yesterday. “We want to hold the Games in a large scale with athletes from all over the country participating.”
Reza also informed that they had initially planned to hold the tournament’s ninth edition in 2017 but backtracked their decision to hold the inaugural Youth Bangladesh Games in early 2018.
The BOA secretary went on to say that they would soon has out the finer details of the Games after the next executive committee meeting, set to be held on November 2. Reza added that they do plan on having a colourful opening and closing ceremony though.
