The fitness test of the referees was conducted for the second time at the Bangabandhu National Stadium this Saturday morning. Jaya also failed this exam due to physical illness. That's why his name is not going as a FIFA referee, the deputy chairman of the referees committee Taiyab Hasan said, 'Today, after the exam, our referees committee had a meeting. It has been decided to send only the names of those who have passed to FIFA.

The first round of fitness tests for referees was held on September 6. There 6 male referees and assistant male referees passed. As the quota of referees is four, Sabuj and Jaseem are left out. According to the quota of assistant referees, 6 passed but because one of them did not have passport, the exam was held again today. One of the assistant referees passed today.

Names of referees, assistant referees to be sent to FIFA by September 30. Taiyab Hasan said that the BAF will send the list a day in advance, 'We will finalize the list of referees and assistant referees and send them tomorrow.'

Although female FIFA referee Jaya did not pass, assistant referee Salma remains on the FIFA list. As he passed the AFC exam abroad, he did not have to take the exam again in the country.
