The six Dhaka Premier Hockey League teams who had taken a stance against the current executive committee of the Bangladesh Hockey Federation plans to hold their own league named Dhaka Hockey League.
The six teams, led by Dhaka Mohammedan and Mariners, refused to take part in the players transfer and had earlier declared that they would not participate in any hockey activities under the current executive committee.
They have plans to bring in a couple of foreign clubs for the Dhaka Hockey League as well.
However, the venue of the proposed tournament remains uncertain as Bangladesh Hockey Federation may not allow the entrepreneurs to use the federation’s turf. They may point to the clause that an organisation requires FIH affiliation to host an official tournament – something the six rebel clubs do not have.
