BPL likely at single venue

The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) is mulling to bring the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League fixtures into one venue following the outbreak of coronavirus.

"Due to outbreak of coronavirus, we are thinking of whether to hold the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League in one venue," BFF president Kazi Salahuddin said in a briefing during the interval of AFC Cup fixture between Bashundhara Kings and TC Sports Club at the Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday.

"Participating clubs will face losses if we stop the league due to coronavirus. We have called for an emergency meeting on Saturday to take a decision about it," said the BFF boss, who however said that the upcoming BFF polls will be held in time.

The 12th edition of the professional league is currently being held at seven venues and the sixth round of fixtures are scheduled to get underway today when Sheikh Jamal take on Sheikh Russel while Arambagh play against Saif SC at the BNS.
