Ahead of their sixth-round Bangladesh Football League clash, tension has escalated between Bashundhara Kings and Dhaka Mohammedanβ€”even before the players step onto the pitch. The two sides meet tomorrow at the King’s Arena, but Mohammedan are upset after being refused permission to train at the venue today.

Mohammedan Denied Access to Kings Arena for Pre-Match Training

Mohammedan officials said they had planned their pre-match session at the Kings Arena, but the home club did not grant the schedule. Their coach, Alfaz Ahmed, expressed strong disappointment over the situation.

According to Mohammedan, they had been coordinating since yesterday, hoping for a confirmation. But despite repeated communication, they learned earlier today that training at the King’s Arena would not be possible. Alfaz added that they kept contacting the Football Federation for clarification, but received no clear response.

Bylaws Give Away Team the Right to Train BeforeaΒ  Match

The Bangladesh Football League bylaws, under Article 12.1, clearly state that the away team is entitled to at least one official practice session at the match venue the day before the fixture. Only the match commissioner has the authority to cancel the sessionβ€”and that too only due to weather issues or poor field conditions.

With none of these factors in play, Mohammedans believe their right to train was overlooked. Coach Alfaz also pointed out the conflict of interest involving Bashundhara Kings president Imrul Hasan, who also heads the league committee.

Mohammedan has already filed an official complaint regarding the matter. Neither Bashundhara Kings nor the Football Federation has issued a statement so far.

However, reports from multiple media outlets suggest that a large social event near Kings Arena today may have disrupted activitiesβ€”including Bashundhara Kings’ own training plans.
