Sports in Bangladesh has been affected by the unrest following the change in government. The partisanship over the years in federations such as the Bangladesh Cricket Board and the Bangladesh Football Federation has created unrest and uncertainty. How can such situations in the country's sports federations be avoided? How can worthy organisers take positions in these federations? To answer all of these, The Daily Star's sports podcast Pitch Perfect brings you an in-depth discussion in its latest episode.

The Bangladesh Football Federation has approved a budget worth Tk 54.29cr, with a Tk 22.95cr deficit, for the 2024-25 fiscal during its Annual General Meeting at the Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel in Dhaka today.

In stark contrast to many developed nations where people in power often relinquish their positions in face of charges of corruption or incompetence even before allegations are proved in a show of true accountability -- there is a disturbing tendency to brush aside all sorts of allegations, even after proven, under the rug by the people in power in countries like Bangladesh, which ranks among the lowest in various corruption indexes.

Four former Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) officials and the current senior vice-president Abdus Salam Murshedy have been sanctioned by FIFA's adjudicatory chamber of the Ethics Committee, the global governing body of football said in a statement on Thursday. 

The High Court today directed Awami League lawmaker Abdus Salam Murshedy to hand over the property at Gulshan in Dhaka, which he has allegedly occupied illegally, to the government terming it abandoned property

The chamber judge however issued status quo on a part of the HC order that directed the agencies to probe the corruption allegations regarding FIFA's money against them.

Nowadays, hardly anybody shows interest in Bangladesh’s declining football scene unless the women’s or girls’ teams deliver something special

An apparent disparity regarding financial aspects had existed between the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) and FIFA for the last two years, as evident by the FIFA’s decision to ban the BFF general secretary Abu Nayeem Shohag.
