All scheduled Federation Cup and women’s football league matches were suspended on Tuesday following the death of former prime minister and BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia.
The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) confirmed that both Federation Cup fixtures slated for the day were postponed as part of nationwide mourning.
The Under-15 National Championship final, scheduled to be held in Noakhali, was also called off.
In women’s football, three league matches due to be played at Kamalapur Stadium were suspended, with revised dates to be announced later.
BFF vice-president Fahad Rahman said the media all sporting activities for the day had been halted out of respect.
He added that it remained uncertain whether matches would resume the following day, as Khaleda Zia’s funeral prayers were expected to be held on Wednesday.
Other national sports bodies, including the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), also issued condolence messages.
Officials said further decisions on fixtures would depend on the duration of the official mourning period.
Khaleda Zia, a two-time prime minister, died on Tuesday morning at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka.
