Match-fixing

2017

On 8 June 2017, Bangladesh Football Federation relegated Dhaka United Sports Club and Friends Social Welfare Organisation during the 2016–17 league after both clubs were found guilty of playing a fixed match. They were both fined Tk 50,000, while three of the Dhaka United Sports Club players were suspended for different terms following their involvement in the fixed-match which led to Friends Social Welfare Organisation winning the game and thus avoiding relegation. ^[3] Nevertheless, both clubs were allowed entry to the 2018–19 Dhaka Senior Division League after their relegation was overturned. ^[4]
