BFF polls Schedule on April 3
Despite the ongoing crisis over coronavirus, the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) is hopeful that it can hold its elections on April 20 as scheduled at the BFF headquarters in Motijheel.
The BFF's general secretary Abu Nayeem Shohag, following a meeting with the three-member election commission formed for the election, informed media that they are going ahead with the election as planned, unless situation worsens drastically.
"Our activities will go ahead for the April 20 elections. The names of the councillors can even be sent on e-mails. The decision of the board is to hold the elections at the BFF House, however, if needed, the elections could be held at any other venue if situation demands in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. We are keeping close contact with the AFC and the FIFA with regards to the election," the BFF spokesman said.
Meanwhile, the head of election commission, Mezbah Uddin Ahmed, said that they would declare election schedule on April 3.
"We have decided in the meeting that the schedule for the election will be declared on April 3. We are taking all preparations with the election date of April 20 in mind. Before that, the BFF executive committee will prepare the voters' list and hand it to us.
The BFF had last month decided to hold the election on April 20, 10 days before the current committee was supposed to expire, during a meeting of the executive committee, citing it would be difficult to hold it after that date as the month of Ramadan is expected to get underway from April 25.
