The AGM will start at 11am at the BFF Bhaban.

The BFF high-ups, who were at one stage looking forward to hold the next federation election within the tenure of the Caretaker Government, seemed to back off from the idea. The officials, however, want to hold the polls before April 30, when the term of the existing executive committee expires.

Rather than holding an early election, the EC's focus will be on trying to convince its councillors to make amends to the constitution in a bid to start implementing FIFA statutes.

"The FIFA has urged us to go full professional, that is to have a full paid executive secretary and his working staff. But we cannot do it before 2011 due to the present structure," said BFF general secretary Anwarul Hoque Helal last night.

"But we are moving with the provision of giving honorarium to four of our secretaries. It would not be salary," he confirmed.

"Other than this, we are going to fully implement the FIFA statutes," he added.

The future general secretary, who would be the executive secretary, his deputy and the joint-secretaries would receive honorarium if the councillors vote for the change.

The BFF will also go for forming a five-member emergency committee headed by the federation president to take instant decisions.

It could well create more controversies. The president used to take decisions on his own in crisis scenarios but adding four more members might only slow the process. During his tenure, current BFF president SA Sultan's solo decisions, however, never solved any problems rather creating more.

The 12 participating clubs in the inaugural Professional Football League, the Women's Sports Association and the Coaches' Association will get new councillorship while the National Sports Council will lose one of their two councillors. Lack of activities might cost the national universities their councillorships.
