Bangladesh Football Federation yesterday decreased the amount of fine imposed on Arambagh Krira Sangha after the second-tier club apologised for the act of vandalism on the BFF House nearly a month ago.
The decision came through an executive committee meeting yesterday at the BFF House. Arambagh will now have to pay Tk1.5m instead of the previous amount of Tk3m.
Meanwhile, Arambagh edged Agrani Bank 1-0 in the 12th Bangladesh Championship League yesterday to move to second place in the points table. Palash scored the all-important goal in the 21st minute. Arambagh now have 20 points and are just a point away from table-toppers Uttar Baridhara.
The executive committee also confirmed the date of the Annual General Meeting of the BFF. The AGM will be held on March 1 this year. Yesterday’s meeting, presided over by BFF president Kazi Salahuddin, decided to begin the Sher-e-Bangla National Football Championship in the first week of March.
The meeting also confirmed that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will be present as chief guest during the grand finale of the fourth Bangabandhu Gold Cup tomorrow.
