The executive committee of the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) approved a proposed budget of Tk 61.80 crores on Thursday for the current year, about four-and-half months after the BFF's annual general meeting refused to approve the proposed expenditure.  

The BFF secretariat proposed a draft expenditure of Tk 61.52 crores in October 2024 for the upcoming year but it was refused by the delegates who cited the ambiguity and lack of transparency of the income and expenditure relating to the budget and asked for another general meeting to approve the budget.

Tk 28 lakhs has been increased from October's proposed budget which had a Tk 14 crores deficit. However, BFF media committee chairman Amirul Islam Babu could neither disclose the total expenditure nor reveal the BFF's sources of income in which case, the deficit may increase or decrease. 

Instead, Babu informed that the BFF is planning to organise a city school football tournament with the involvement of several Dhaka-based English-medium schools from April 12 at the Fortis FC ground.
