Renewed sports organiser cum businessman Tarafder Md Ruhul Amin will contest in the hot seat of the president of Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) in the upcoming election slated for October 26 next.

The decision came a day after present president Kazi Mohammad Salahuddin announced that he would not compete in the upcoming BFF election 2024 after serving the federation for an uninterrupted period of 16 years.

The name of Tarafder Ruhul Amin, as president candidate was formally proposed by former top official of Bangladesh Athletics Federation Ali Imam Tapon at a press conference at a local hotel on Sunday.

Accepting the proposal to compete for the BFF presidency, Amin said he wants to revive the country's flagging footballing scene.

Former national footballer cum coach Shafiqul Islam Manik, and star footballer Syed Rumman bin Wali Sabbir among others were on the stage.

Former national goalkeeper cum sports secretary of BNP Aminul Haque and BNP leader Khairul Kabir Khokon were also present at the press conference arranged under the banner of "declaration of president candidate in Bangladesh Football Federation elections with consensus."

Another BNP leader Tabitha Awal, a former vice-president of BFF, is likely to be another strong presidential candidate of the Bangladesh Football Federation.

Ruhul Amin, Managing Director Saif Powertec Limited, former president of Bangladesh District and Divisional Football Association has been a well-known figure in football and chess since 2015.

He had made generous investments in district leagues and lower-division clubs of Dhaka. He was also the chairman of the now-defunct Saif Sporting Club and was the vice president of Chittagong Abahani Limited.
