Abdus Salam Murshedy, the senior vice president of the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF), has resigned from his position, citing personal reasons, according to a BFF press release issued on Thursday night.
The press release, signed by BFF media manager Sadman Sakib, confirmed Murshedy’s resignation. Murshedy, who also served as a treasury Member of Parliament in the now-dissolved parliament led by the Awami League government, had been the BFF’s senior vice president since 2008. He has also stepped down as chairman of various sub-committees, including the professional football league committee, BFF finance committee, and referees committee, roles he had held for the past 16 years.
Murshedy was recently fined by FIFA’s adjudicatory committee in May, and the Bangladesh Football Ultras, a football fan group, had issued an ultimatum for him to resign following the fall of the Awami League government.
