2023–24 BFF U-16 Football League

The BFF U-16 Football Tournament is a youth football competition of the Bangladeshi football league system for youth players under 16 years old where youth teams of Bangladesh Championship League teams compete in.[1][2] Founded in 2022, it is administered by the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF).[3][4]

History

[edit]

On 20 September 2022, the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) decided to launch the BFF U-16 Football Tournament for the U-16 players of clubs participating in Bangladeshi football's second-tier, the Bangladesh Championship League (BCL). The tournament was founded alongside the BFF U-18 Football League for Bangladesh Premier League clubs, however, due to the lack of finance available to the BCL teams the competition would be held in a tournament format instead of a league.[5]

Format

[edit]

As per 2021–22 season, all the participant teams will be divided into two groups. Every team will play once against the other teams of their group in group phase. The champion and runners-up of both groups will qualify for semi-final.[2]
