Women’s football returns in November

While there is no clear guideline as yet regarding the start of the new season in men's domestic football, the women's wing of the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) has already started groundwork to start things off by resuming the women's football league in early November.

The league rolled on to the ground in February this year after a gap of six years, but it had to be halted less than a month on as coronavirus spread throughout the country. Now that life is slowly getting back to normalcy and restrictions on sporting activities being eased off, the BFF wants to resume the league.

BFF's women's wing chairman Mahfuza Akter Kiran informed that they have corresponded with the clubs, informing about the plans to restart the league.

"We have sent letters to the participating clubs, informing them that we would start the league from the first week of November. The league will resume from where it had stopped," Kiron told The Daily Star yesterday.  Kiran also informed that the residential camp of age-level women's players will resume in October.

"We will call players of the age-group level for the BFF residential camp from the first week of October. Due to Covid-19 precautions and physical distancing protocol, we will start the camp with 30 players, with an eye on assignments in 2021," Kiran said.
