Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) President Kazi Salahuddin is set to retain his post as South Asian Football Federation (Saff) president for the next four years after no one from the other seven SAARC nations submitted nomination form by the deadline.
The decision will likely be announced at the annual Congress of Saff, which is scheduled to be held in Dhaka on March 5.
The deadline day to submit the nomination forms was on February 18 and it was learnt that no contender stood up to challenge Salahuddin for the presidency.
Salahuddin, the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) president, was elected Saff president as an unopposed candidate in 2009 and his four-year tenure came to an end last September.
Meanwhile, four contenders from Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives and Pakistan submitted their forms for the vice president’s post, where only three would be elected.
Salahuddin took charge of Saff on October 3, 2009. During his tenure, he has arranged Women's Saff and U-16 Saff Championship for the first time.
