Seven teams send entries for Club Cup

The Hockey season will finally get underway on April 15 at the Maulana Bhasani Hockey Stadium through the Club Cup Hockey Tournament, which was last held in 2016.

Though 12 of the available 13 took part in the inter-club players' transfers which concluded last Saturday, it remains unclear how many teams will actually take part in the tournament as only seven have sent their entries so far.

“The number of clubs may be eight to 10 in the Club Cup as only seven teams showed their interest to play in the competition till today [Tuesday],” said League committee secretary Kazi Moinuzzaman Pila after a league committee meeting, which also decided to start the hockey league on April 28.

“Though Usha KC did not take part in the transfers, we will keep them in the fixtures. If they skip the league, we will reschedule the fixture and take a decision about Usha KC later,” said Pila while adding that no representative from Usha attended the meeting.
