The Bangladesh Olympic Association (BOA) is planning to hold the 2nd Youth Games in October-November this year, almost four-and-a-half year since the first edition in 2018.

"We decided to form a steering committee to hold the Sheikh Kamal 2nd Youth Games. Considering the curriculum and activities of schools and colleges, the Games will start in October/November before coming to an end in February-March next year," read a press release yesterday following a BOA EC meeting on Thursday.

The first edition held in March, 2018, with the participation of around 25,000 athletes across the country, featured 21 disciplines.

It was also decided at the meeting to form nine more sub-committees to operate daily activities. The BOA had before formed six sub-committees.
