DHAKA, April 29, 2021 (BSS)- The Women’s Football League, which was earlier set to resume from May 5, has been rescheduled and now the league will resume from May 19, after the Eid Ul-Fitr.
Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) women’s wing committee’s chairperson Mahfuza Akter Kiron today told BSS that league was earlier set to resume from May 5 but as the ongoing lockdown has been extended till May 5, so we have decided to resume the league from May 19, after the Eid Ul-Fitr.
The clubs can get their players COVID-19 tested before participating in the league.
The league earlier started on March 31 last but due to ongoing lockdown, BFF postponed the league on April 5 last.
The BFF women’s wing committee then decided to resume the league as soon as possible after the end of lockdown.
The BFF initially fixed the date of resuming the league from May 5 but as the government extended the lockdown till May 5, the BFF decided to reschedule the date of the league.
