Sylhet BKSP finally under BFF spotlight

Sports Reporter
The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) finally turned their attention to the football academy in Sylhet as the BFF high-ups yesterday met State Minister for Youth and Sports Ahad Ali Sarker in a bid to upgrade facilities at the Sylhet BKSR
A six-member delegation led by BFF president Kazi Salahuddin met Ahad Ali Sarker to seek assistance in starting the Sylhet BKSP, which was handed over to the BFF last December. The sports minister instructed the National Sports Council officials to meet the BFF requirements accordingly.
"We have requested him (the sports minister) to equip the gymnasium with instruments, provide swimming pool filtration and make the field playable and the minister agreed to do it,” said BFF vice president Kazi Nabil Ahmed yesterday.
"As it will take some time to start a full-fledged academy, we will install minimal furniture at the dormitory, administration and other buildings at our own cost in a bid to carry on the activities of the academy for the time being,” BFF senior vice president Abdus Salam Murshedy said. "The government may reimburse the expenditure in future."
Other than some steel beds, there is no furniture or equipments at the five-storey
dormitory, three-storey administration building and the two five-storey officer and staff quarters.
Nabil, who is also chairman of the National Teams Committee, said that it would take one-and-a-half to two months to complete the upgrade.
He also added that BFF technical director BA Jubair Nipu and BFF member Iqbal Hossain were sent to the Sylhet BKSP on Saturday night to evaluate the current state of the academy in Sylhet.
“We will start scouting from next month and it will be an open trial for all," said BFF vice president Badal Roy, who however could not ensure whether the trial would be Dhaka-based or district-based.
Badal, chairman of the Development Committee, said that two groups of players (14 to 16 and 16 to 18) would be picked through the talent hunt but he could not confirm how many players would be picked for the first batch of the BFF academy.
BFF president Kazi Salahuddin had earlier said that the final selection of the boys would be conducted by a foreign technical director, a key person in the academy, who is however yet to be appointed with the BFF still searching for a suitable candidate.
It is expected that the foreign technical director will be assisted by a few selected personnel from BFF's 19 contracted coaches.
