Mohammedan did not win the title of Bangladesh Premier League. Since the introduction of professional football in 2007, the Whites have occasionally won the tournament and consoled the fans.
Their performances in the tournament have been good in recent seasons. Won the Federation Cup last season. This time it has reached the final. Before this, the traditional club of the country also played in the finals of the first tournament of the season, the Independence Cup.
Despite being in a good position in the ongoing league, they have fallen behind with a few draws against smaller teams. Although there is some possibility on paper, it is difficult in reality. If they fail to beat Bashundhara Kings on Saturday, the White and Blacks will be officially knocked out. Mohammedan’s next match is very important to finish as runners-up, even if they don’t win the title.
However, Mohammedan now has more eyes on the May 21 Federation Cup final. The opponent will have to wait until next Tuesday. Abahani and Bashundhara Kings will meet in the second semi-final that day. Mohammedan will fight to retain the title in Mymensingh against the winning team.
The change came when the club authorities were serious about the final of the Federation Cup, the last few matches of the league. Player registration for the new season will begin on June 1. Other clubs have caught the eye of the local young footballers who have played brilliantly to improve Mohammedan’s performance on the field. Another traditional club of the country wants to get Murad Hossain and Shahriar Emon in particular.
Muhammadan Sporting Club Limited President General Mohammad Abdul Mubeen (Retd.) came to the club today (Thursday) and spoke to the players about the league, Federation Cup and the new season. Director and Chairman of the Football Committee Engineer Golam Mohammad Alamgir along with other officers of the club and members of the Football Technical Committee were present at this time.
Meanwhile, the president urged the Mohammedan footballers to try their best to win the Federation Cup final and remain unbeaten in the league. He said, ‘We will make a good team next season as well. No one leaves the club. If anyone has any questions, tell us. Don’t promise another club without saying anything.’
It is said that the footballers have been assured of special prizes if they become champions in the Federation Cup.
