BFF ropes in Dour as national teams’ kit sponsor
Bangladesh Football
Federation (BFF) has signed a two-year deal with Dour, a local sportswear
manufacturer, as the official kit sponsor of Bangladesh men's and women's
football teams.
The announcement was made at a press conference at the BFF House today. BFF
vice-president and marketing committee head Fahad Karim and Dour owner Abid
Alam Chowdhury signed the agreement on behalf of their respective
organisations.
"It's a new era of
partnership. This is a small but meaningful achievement in our [new
committee's] first four months," said Fahad.
"It is a two-year deal but the BFF has
the right to review the contract after one year. I can say that we are going to
save at least Tk one crore per year which we earlier spent for the kits of the
national football teams."
Dour owner Abid said: "I am very thankful to BFF president Tabith Awal for
giving us the opportunity to work with them. We started it from a point of
passion and our aim is to earn global recognition for our local brand."
According to the agreement, Dour will provide
all necessary kits for both the men's and women's national teams, however, all
details of the contract are yet to be disclosed by the BFF.
Thanking the entire executive committee for
completing the sponsorship deal, Tabith said that the kit sponsor will also
sell national teams' jerseys for fans in the coming days and the BFF will get
royalty from the sales.
