Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) has donated Tk 901,636 to the Chief Adviser's Relief Fund in aid of the victims of cyclone Sidr. A cheque for the amount was handed over to National Sports Council Chairman and Army Chief General Moeen U Ahmed at the Army Headquarters on Saturday.

BFF President SA Sultan Tito and acting general secretary Manzoor Hossain Malu, Lokman Hossain Bhuiyan of Mohamedan SC and Kazi Nabil Ahmed of Abahani Limited were present while the cheque was handed over to the NSC chairman.

The amount has been raised from "best of three football" matches played between the country's two soccer giants Mohammedan SC and Abahani Limited in the first week of this month at the Bangabandhu National Stadium. Dhaka Mohammedan SC clinched the title of the three-match charity football series beating their traditional rivals Abahani Limited by 2-1.
