To add to that, Abahani Limited’s historic achievement in the AFC Cup took the country’s club football to a new height. Abdus Salam Murshedy, the professionalism league committee chairman in the last 12 years, talked about the limitations of the top-flight clubs in meeting the required standard in an exclusive interview to Dhaka Tribune. Actual professionalism means you must have a stadium, permanent members or fans, and more professionalism in payment of players. The clubs couldn’t reach professionalism the way they were supposed to, but it is improving. You can’t bring professionalism to each and every single one of the 12 or 13 clubs.
