Badal Roy, one of the four vice presidents of the BFF executive committee, threw a challenge to his president Kazi Salahuddin, as per previous declaration ignoring his present critical health condition.
52 years old former national defender Manik, who trained national football team, Sheikh Jamal DC, Dhaka Mohammedan SC, Muktijoddha SKC, Chattagram Abahani and Sheikh Russel KC, in the last moment's drama, collected nomination paper for the BFF supreme post on the last day of nomination distribution on Monday.
Country's soccer pundit were almost certain that Kazi Salahuddin is going to be elected BFF president for the 4th consecutive terms unopposed as his main contender Tarafder Md Ruhul Amin declined to compete in BFF Election '20 and his alternative candidate Badal Roy was also sick, but the total scenario has been changed on Monday.
Former national striker Sheikh Mohammad Aslam also challenged seating senior vice president and his district mate Abdus Salam Murshedy MP in the post.
On the last day of the three-day nomination distribution process on Monday, three nomination papers for the president post, two for the senior vice president, eight for vice president and 36 for executive members were sold out.
The BFF will go for polls on October 3 for one president, one senior vice president, four vice presidents and 15 EC members from 2 pm to 6 pm at the Sonargaon Hotel.
