Bangladesh Football Federation on Sunday halted all the ongoing domestic leagues as the Bangladesh government has declared a seven-day lockdown across the country for the time being to tackle the spread of coronavirus, starting today.
The second phase of the premier league and championship league, women's football league and third division league are temporarily postponed until April 11.
Only two events -- men and women football --of the ongoing Bangabandhu Bangladesh Games will continue as Bangladesh Olympic Association has decided to continue the Games as per government instructions.
“We will resume these leagues after a seven-day break after the lockdown. We have already informed all the participating teams of these leagues. Only two leagues of Bangabandhu Bangladesh Games will continue as per as Olympic Association's instruction and under the strict health measures,” BFF general secretary Md Abu Nayeem Shohag told reporters on Sunday.
