Although he was not in limelight in the first place, he managed to make spot in the top 16 leaving behind many familiar faces in the election. While he is hopeful of a winning the re-election, former footballer Saifur Rahman Moni, his competitor had prior experience of contesting for member post of BFF.
Moni is a former footballer of the national team,currently involved in coaching profession.
Ekhlach Uddin said, “I think, those of us who work with football at the district or grassroots level, are much more skilled as organizers.
They cannot rise to the national level only because of lack of opportunities. Otherwise, they are also able to play a significant role in the development of football in the country.
This time the voting will be held at the BFF House in Motijheel, not in a five-star hotel. Voting is scheduled for 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
