As Bangladesh coach Javier Cabrera set his sights on the semifinal berth of comparatively tough SAFF Championship on the first day of the training session yesterday, the decades-long goal-scoring problem of the national football team is expected to play in the mind of the Spaniard.

Salahuddin said he saw in past that the players don’t go to the field with a winning mentality, which is what he wants to be changed.

Bashundhara Kings midfielder Sheikh Morsalin and Mohammedan forward Sazzad Hossen were drafted in place of Bashundhara's injured duo – Matin Mia and Saad Uddin. Sazzad has already represented Bangladesh but young Morsalin is yet to wear the red and green jersey

Mahfuza Akter Kiran, chairman of Bangladesh Football Federation's women's committee, is still hopeful that coach Golam Rabbani Choton would change his mind and return to his role as head coach of the women's teams.

After being deferred from its first proposed start date of May 15, the franchise football league will feature four teams and will see 13 matches over 12 match days, Salahuddin told reporters following an emergency meeting of the BFF executive committee yesterday

Bangladesh women’s football is making the headlines again but this time for negative reasons, with the latest conundrum surrounding Golam Rabbani Choton’s resignation. The coach has been in charge for 17 years but called it quits and decided to end his relationship with the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF). Why couldn’t the BFF capitalise on the women’s team’s success? The Star News Plus brings you the detailed report.  

Kazi Salahuddin, the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) president, claimed that the success in women's football is largely due to the effort of technical director Paul Smalley. He also said that while Golam Rabbani Choton's sudden departure is a setback, the long-serving head coach is not irreplaceable.

Bangladesh women’s football team captain Sabina Khatun believes no other women footballers will leave the camp following the retirement of Sirat Jahan Swapna but urged the Bangladesh Football Federation to solve the grievances and fulfil the needs of the players immediately.

Akhi Khatun, a key member of the national women's football team, is leaving the camp with aim of going to a Chinese sports institute.

Golam Rabbani Choton probably cannot remember the last time he was sitting at home while his charges were training at the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) astroturf, a place he had known to be home for more than a decade-and-a-half.

Assistant coach of Bangladesh Women’s football team Mahbubur Rahman Litu has said that the lack of matches and the excessive workload on the coaching team are the reasons why striker Sirat Jahan Swapna and head coach Golam Rabbani Choton has decided to call it quits.

Bangladesh Football Federation president Kazi Salahuddin’s response to the retirement of women’s football team striker Sirat Jahan Swapna and head coach Golam Rabbani Choton pulling himself out of the role has been a passive one.

Bangladesh Football Federation has appointed David Dobarro Magan as national team’s physiotherapist for next month’s FIFA friendly against Cambodia and the subsequent SAFF Championship in India.

A writ petition was filed with the High Court on Sunday seeking its directive on the ACC to probe the corruption allegation raised against the officials concerned of Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) after FIFA imposed a sanction last month.

Almost a month after a FIFA-imposed two-year suspension, Bangladesh Football Federation’s (BFF) former general secretary Abu Nayeem Shohag, in the presence of his lawyers, finally appeared before the media on Wednesday to explain his current position and the steps he took during the investigation process.

Bangladesh football team’s head coach Javier Cabrera claimed his team are in very good shape and, given good preparation, can be competitive and make things difficult for other teams in next month’s SAFF Championship.

Bangladesh Football Federation's vice-president Kazi Nabil Ahmed said they are trying to have the men's football team included in the contingent of the Asian Games, which will take place in Hangzhou, China in September this year.

Bangladesh national football team will play a friendly match away in Cambodia on June 15 as build-up for next month's SAFF Championship, informed National Teams Committee chairman Kazi Nabil Ahmed.

Kazi Salahuddin, the four-time president of South Asian Football Federation (SAFF), has had his long-cherished dream fulfilled as the SAFF Club Championship is finally taking shape.

Football has been at the centre of every discussion in the sports fraternity in the country for the past month, but unfortunately the conversation has revolved around administrative shortcomings such as the Bangladesh Football Federation’s (BFF’s)
