A Celebrity Management Group (CMG) official today claimed they will bring Argentine football legend Diego Maradona to Bangladesh for the launching of the Bangladesh Super Soccer, a franchise football league proposed to be held here at the end of the year.
“We will bring Diego for an official launching of the league within the next two months, even though we are planning to hold the league sometime towards the end of this year. I will be meeting Diego in Madrid on January 29 and then I can confirm the exact timing of Diego’s arrival,” Executive Director of CMG, Bhaswar Goswami, who met with Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) President Kazi Salahuddin, told reporters this afternoon.
Salahuddin confirmed that he has given a letter of intent to the CMG official to go ahead with the plan, but said that BFF will only engage in further talks to work out the details of the league once Maradona comes to Dhaka for the official launching.
According to CMG’s proposal, which was first tabled before the BFF on December 23 last year, the franchise league will feature eight teams, which will be owned by Bangladeshi companies. The league will feature 61 matches spanning 12 weeks and will be held on home and away basis across eight venues.
