The BFF high-ups sat with the Premier and First Division clubs on Thursday night to discuss the issue but the representatives of 17 clubs present were negative about the idea.

Also, they refused to play the league at the Kamalapur Stadium as well as taking part in two players' transfers for the Premiership and the Professional League in the same season.

The BFF will have to hand over the Bangabandhu National Stadium for renovation of the ground, which will take at least six months. If it wants to launch the Professional League in September, the governing body of football has no other alternative but to stage the Premier League at another venue.

The BFF is expected to take a decision in its executive committee meeting on February 1.
