Sports Advisor assures construction of international standard stadium in Rangpur

The ’36 July Gold Cup Football Tournament’ broke the 13-year-long barrenness of the sports arena in Rangpur. On Wednesday (August 20), a wave of excitement hit the Rangpur Stadium in the presence of lakhs of spectators at the final of the event. Demands were made for an international standard stadium and organizing international games in Rangpur. Sports Advisor Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan also announced that the construction of a divisional stadium in Rangpur will start very soon. On this day, spectators were seen carrying placards in the gallery with various demands including construction of an international stadium and organizing BPL. Mohurmuh slogans were raised in support of the demands. In his speech, the Sports Advisor said that the youth should focus on sports. They should stay away from drugs. Here (in Rangpur), if such tournaments are held in the district, the rest of the district sports organizations and local administrations will learn from you and organize such tournaments. So that good players emerge at our marginal level. He also said, we also want to start international standard games in Rangpur. That is why we will start the work of the divisional stadium in Rangpur very soon. Asif said, BCB will work in five zones. We are promoting regional cricket. At the same time, we will work on regional football in the coming days. Bangladesh Premier League-BPL games will be held at Rajshahi Stadium from next year. At the same time, initiatives have been taken to organize BPL at Khulna Stadium. It is worth noting that no major event has been held in Rangpur since the last National League cricket 13 years ago. District Sports Organization President and Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Rabiul Faisal said, we have started. If this continuity continues, the long barrenness in sports fields in the divisional cities will be eliminated.
