Three Championship League clubs Arambagh Krira Sangha, Rahmatganj MFS and Victoria Sporting Club are likely to withdraw from the upcoming Federation Cup due to a shortage of preparation.
The season kicks off with the Fed Cup at the Bangabandhu National Stadium from November 4. Earlier, the tournament was scheduled to begin on November 3, but due to Jail Killing Day the BFF decided to shift the event.
Ten clubs from the Bangladesh Premier League and seven clubs from the Championship League are expected to participate in the meet.
