Our football

Moinul Alam, Dhanmondi, Dhaka
The Bangladesh football team left Dhaka on May 27 to take part in the upcoming SAFF football championship. With the deterioration in world ranking every month, the tournament appears to be an acid test for our booters. Now, the team will play in a situation when the Football Federation has an organiser like Salahuddin as its leader. Besides, this time the booters seem to be more confident than before. However, I was shocked to see the booters being taken to the airport by an obsolete local bus! When our cricketers travel by air-conditioned bus, the booters deserved something better. I would request the current sponsor Nokia and others to come forward and to arrange something good for our football. I would like to convey my good wishes to the boys. I am very much optimistic that the mission to retrieve our lost glory shall commence with this tournament.
