This was announced Saturday following a meeting of the BFF’s Professional Football League Committee in Dhaka. It was also decided that the top-flight league will be held in six venues across the country – Bangabandhu National Stadium, Dhaka, Rafiq Uddin Bhuiyan Stadium, Mymensingh, Sheikh Moni Stadium, Gopalganj, Sheikh Kamal Stadium, Nilphamari, Shaheed Bhulu Stadium, Noakhali and Sylhet District Stadium. The BPL will take a breather at different points of the season due to the national team’s assignments, the AFC U-23 Championship and Abahani’s participation in the AFC Cup. Meanwhile, the upcoming Bangladesh Championship League 2018-19 season will begin on February 5 at Shaheed Sipahi Mohammad Mostafa Kamal Stadium in Kamalapur. The bottom two teams of the BPL will get relegated to the 12-team Championship League, while the champion of the second tier will be promoted to the top-flight.
