A few individuals are using the country’s sports federations to turn their wheel of fortune. But there can be no place for corruption and politicisation here.

Dhaka, Nov 22 (UNB) -Former national star footballer of the Eighties, national sports award winner, former sports secretary of DUCSU and recent past vice president of Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) Badal Roy passed away Sunday afternoon while undergoing treatment at Bangladesh Medical College Hospital.  

The Chief Election Commissioner for BFF Election 2020 on Sunday (Sept 13) officially published the final candidates list with ballot numbers, including Badal Roy, who submitted a late withdrawal application, as one of the three candidate for the hot seat of BFF President. 

Celebrated footballer Kazi Mohammad Salahuddin, who has ruled the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) for the last twelve years as president, will face competition from his fellow former national footballer Shafiqul Islam Manik for the hotly anticipated BFF Election 2020, billed for October 3. 

The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) Election'20, billed for October 3,  turned into an exciting one as two former national footballers Badal Roy and Shafiqul Islam Manik challenged long serving Kazi Mohammad Salahuddin in the hot seat of BFF president.
