Salahuddin again as SAFF President

Bangladesh Football Federation President Kazi Salahuddin was re-elected as the President of the South Asian Football Federation on Saturday, extending his tenure to 2006.

The decision was taken at the SAFF Ordinary Congress 2022 on Saturday, which was held at Hotel Intercontinental in Dhaka.

The meeting saw Salahuddin elected as the President for the fourth consecutive time, the first to do so. He was first appointed President in 2009, following in the footsteps of Nepal’s Ganesh Thapa.

Speaking after his re-election, Salahuddin thanked all the Member Associations for the trust they had in him and urged all to work as a family to work for the betterment of football in the region.

“We are not the best footballing region in the world, but we have to work as a family, as brothers, to uplift the game in the region. When I was elected President in 2009, we just had the SAFF Men’s Championship, but now we have conducted 27 competitions. This shows how much progress we have made over the years,” he said.
