'Utmost security

Anisur Rahman
Keeping the Argentina-Nigeria international friendly on Tuesday in mind, the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) is going to stage a dress-rehearsal through today's open prac-tice session of Argentina at the Bangabandhu National Stadium (BNS).
Regarding Tuesday's match and today's practice session, the highest-level security measures from the government have been taken in a bid to ensure the flawless movement of both Argentina and Nigeria national football teams from the airport to hotel and from the hotel to stadium.
Approximately 15,000 spectators will be allowed to catch a glimpse of the magical Lionel Messi and his Argentina teammates in the practice session which is scheduled to get underway at 6:30pm and the ticketholders have been requested to enter the stadium before 6:00pm as the gates of 2,3,5, 6,8,12,13,18,19 and 21 will remain open for them and gate 15 will be kept for the former national booters and football coaches while gates 10 and 11 will remain open only for the
school students.
Of the four entrances to the stadium premises, three gates will remain open for
the spectators while the football teams of Argentina, Nigeria and national-flag carrier vehicles will enter the premises through gate-2 on both days. Even vehicles of invited guests or members of parliaments will not be allowed to cross zero point adjacent to the General Post Office.
"Spectators are much eager to watch the practice session, which is virtually a dressrehearsal for us before Tuesday's international friendly between Argentina and Nigeria as the spectators will be checked at two points (main-entrance of stadium arena and the second one is at the designated gate mentioned on tickets) and the movement of vehicles surrounding the stadium arena during the practice session and on the match day will be controlled,” said security committee chairman and BFF vice president Badal Roy at a press conference at the BFF House yesterday.
Roy also informed that the BNS have already been handed over to the security personnel for three days from Sunday to Tuesday and all shops have been kept closed for three day's. A lot of police will be deployed inside and outside the stadium during the practice ses-
sion and on the match day, he added.
“RegardingtheArgentina and Nigeriamatch,
the highest-level security measures from the government have been taken," informed Roy adding that instant measures would be taken to face any unwanted circumstance during practice session and the match.
The ticket-holders will not be allowed to enter the stadium premises after 6:00pm and all gates will be opened three hours before the starting time of the game.
“It will take two to three seconds to check each ticket and we believe all spectators will be able to enter the stadium premises inside three hours,” said the former national booter. But the fear is that with a capacity of24,000 there might be some trouble in accommodating entry of all fans inside the premises within three hours.
“Some tickets' booths will be in the stadium arena for the spectators as some 5824 tickets for the practice session have been sold so far till today afternoon," said Ruhul Amin, CEO of Apon Communications, which has bought the rights of the practice session’s ticket sale.
