BEANIBAZAR Sporting Club UK (BSCUK) have announced plans for the first ever Village Cup, which takes place this Sunday. Beanibazar is an upazila of Sylhet District in north-eastern Bangladesh, part of the Sylhet Division.
The draw for the inaugural tournament was held at The London Enterprise Academy, Tower Hamlets, and was attended by team managers and the Sporting Clubs Committee.
Speaking after the event, BSCUK President Mesba Ahmed commented, “This is a historic and happy moment for expatriate Beanibazaris, and we are really excited to use football to bring our community together. Our ethos is based on families representing their own villages in the Cup, and this will promote greater unity amongst the old and young, whilst educating about our shared heritage. This Sunday we will have lots of families and friends coming together in what promises to be a day of great fanfare.”
After the live cup draw for the 5-a-side event involving 30 teams took place, there was a Q&A session with attendees.
