Three-member body to probe fixed-games

SPORTS REPORTER
Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) yesterday formed a three-member committee to probe match fixing allegations against Brothers Union and four other Premiership clubs but the football governing body of the country did not reveal any names.
BFF president SA Sultan told reporters after an executive committee meeting that the committee has been asked to submit their findings within 12 days.
"The championship will not be decided by then and we will have enough time to take action against the guilty," commented Sultan.
"We have given them advice and terms of references so that they can conduct the investigation properly. Whatever they find, every team will have to go by it.
"Meanwhile, the disciplinary committee will watch the remaining matches and report back to the federation if there is any anomaly. The BFF will also investigate other incidents if there are any," he added.
Mohammedan, Abahani, Muktijoddha and Sheikh Russel alleged that Brothers not only played fixed matches against Farashganj, Arambagh, Youngmen's Club and Wanderers in the ongoing Premier League but also influenced match officials to bring results in their favour.
OTHER AGENDAS
The BFF in its meeting also decided that the fifth edition of the National Football League will be launched on September 15 with qualifying rounds scheduled across the country.
BFF general secretary Anwarul Hoque Helal said that the national football team's training camp will begin under new Argentine coach Diego Andreas Cruciani five days after end of the Premier League.
"It would be a conditioning camp for 35 to 40 days. The players will stay at the BKSP for the residential camp," said Helal.
The national team will play in home and away pre-qualifying matches against Pakistan in November 11 and 18 for the Asian Cup before going to Pakistan for the SAFF Football Championship.
"We have also decided to start camps for the Under-17 and U-20 teams for preparation of the AFC youth championship qualifiers. The U-17 team will reside in Chittagong and the U-20s at the Dinajpur BKSP.
The executive committee agreed on holding the JFA Cup U-16 championship in December instead of the earlier scheduled start in September.
Helal said that they wanted to wait for the Japan FA's budget meeting in October because the BFF is expecting a raise in the sponsorship money provided by the Japanese football body. The Japan FA provided US dollars 20,000 for the first version of the tournament.
The BFF will host the Suhrawardy Cup National Youth Championship in November and the School football tournament starts on August 25 in Dhaka with 60 teams of the Metropolis.
