U-15 only in name

BFF comes hard on cheats

Sports Reporter
The opening day of the JFA Cup U-15 football tournament saw a flurry of expulsions as some 22 players from four teams were expelled due to overage before the start of the matches at the Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday.. Seven players from Tangail, six from BKSR five from Kushtia and four from Khulna were marked as overaged, but two of the Tangail players were later allowed to play due to their shortageofpersonnel.
The officials of the four teams however asked why the players were allowed in the zonal phase if they were over-aged players?
“There were
loopholes in defining the
age of the p r e i m binary round. But
will not
w e
allow
them in the final round,” said BFF's development committee member Satyajit Das Rupu.
“The local organisers were given three day’s time before the start of the preliminary round to check with the players' age, but they seemingly could not come out of their old habit. Those in charge of defining the age might have even been forced to allow some overaged players,” said Rupu.
The former footballer however said they are still giving the participating teams the opportunity to include U-15 players and they would be tough in defining the age of the players of the remaining four teams as well which are supposed to play today.
Meanwhile, despite losing seven overaged players, Tangail made a flying start with a 5-1 win over Kushtia. The losing side were forced to play a goalkeeper as a striker following the shortage of players in the side-bench.
Striker Ilias slammed a hattrick while Limon and Jewel struck one goal each for Tangail who will play their next match against Khulna onHiesday.
Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protisthan (BSKP), who lost six players, managed an emphatic 3-0 win over Khulna with Masud scoring a brace while Akash netting the other.
The preliminary round of the JFA Cup started on July 9 with 56 districts, split into eight zones, taking part in the knock-out tournament.
