11 teams for B. League


The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) will go ahead to organise the inaugural Professional Football League with 11 clubs after Sylhet's absence confirmed.

Sylhet DSA, which backed out of their decision to participate in the B. League, were given a few days to reconsider but failed yesterday's deadline to notify the BFF about their latest situation.

"We contacted them at last and they have said that it would not be possible for them to play," told BFF general secretary Anwarul Hoque Helal after yesterday's executive committee meeting.

The BFF will honour the B. League tournament committee's recommendation of not to invite any new team for the league, which is scheduled to start on February 15.

The meeting, however, was adjourned till today as there was no development over the other agenda of B. League sponsors.
