The Federation Cup Football Tournament, which was suspended on Monday due to rain-wet ground, will resume on August 18 with two matches billed on the day.

The B. League committee took the decision on Tuesday in a meeting with representatives of the clubs at the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) Bhaban this evening.

As per revised fixture, Arambagh KS will meet Sunrise SC at Gazipur Stadium at 4:30 pm, while Dhaka Mohammedan SC faces Rahamatganj MFS at the Bangabandhu National Stadium at 6 pm in group D matches on August 18, a BFF official told UNB.

The meeting decided to include Gazipur Stadium as extra venue, where six more group phase matches will be played.

Bangabandhu National Stadium (BNS) was kept vacant for four days until August 14 to prepare for the next round. Afterwards, the ground will be without football for three days due to government holidays until August 17.
