The Congress of South Asian Football Federation will be held today at the Ruposhi Bangla Hotel. The congress will be presided over by the president of the organization Kazi Salahuddin.
There will also be a few changes in the executive committee of the SAFF as the vice-president posts will be extended from two to three.
As no one from the other eight SAFF countries had yet expressed interest in seeking the president’s post, Kazi Salahuddin, also the chief of the BFF, was likely to retain post.
However, if a contender appears, the eight countries will vote. Salahuddin was elected SAFF chief unopposed in 2009.
