Fourth National Football League (NFL) 2004 To start on Jun 25 (postponed from Jun 21) NB: apparently due to the dispute on Abahani's participation, a 20-team home-and-away National League 2004/05 running for seven months across the country is being planned instead; this appears to be off again after Abahani got in. Direct Qualifiers (6): 5 from Dhaka (originally 4 were planned but Abahani were added): Muktijoddha Sangsad (holders) Mohammedan Sporting Club (2003 runners-up) Brothers Union (Dhaka Premier League winners) Sheikh Russel (Dhaka Premier League runners-up) Abahani KC (couldn't be left out) 1 from Chittagong: Mohammedan Sporting Club (Chittagong) (because of Abahani's entry, in order to 'balance things at the top') 7 teams were denied entry in qualifying, namely: Moulvibazar Wanderers (semifinalists 2003!) Sylhet Chaturanga Jubo Sangha Rajshahi Abahani Gazipur Biplob Sangha Joypurhat Agradut Club (all these because their regional FA had not held a championship in the past two seasons) Thakurgaon Sammyo Krira (because their district is suspended due to Agomony Sporting Club of Thakurgaon (the actual champions, Thakurgaon Sammyo Krira were runners-up) forfeited a match in the 2003 edition) Shanskritik Goshthi (reason unclear) 46 teams will enter qualifying, including: Abahani KC (Barguna) Abahani KC (Mymensingh) Abahani KC (Narail) Agrabad Nawjoan Club (Chittagong runners-up, entered due to MSC's direct qualification) Brothers Union (Cox's Bazar) Brothers Union (Pabna) Brothers Union (Panchagar) Madaripur Sabujbagh Krira Chakra (entered after appeal) Mohammedan SC (Chuadanga) Mohammedan SC (Jhenaidah) Mohammedan SC (Khulna) Rampur Boys Club (Feni) NB: unclear whether Sirajganj Mohammedan are allowed to enter Hosts for qualifiers: Narsinghdi, Chandpur, Natore, Bagherhat, Jhenaidah and Dhaka (for Services Zone) Bagerhat Zone Quarterfinals [Jun 25] Unmochon Club (Bagerhat) 4-1 Barguna Abahani KC [Jun 26] Mohammedan SC (Khulna) 1-0 Abahani KC (Narail) [Jun 27] Prattyasha Club (Jessore) 4-0 Nazrul Smriti Sangha [Jun 28] Uttar Alekanda Boys Club 6-0 Aksar Smriti Sangsad (Patuakhali) Semifinals [Jun 29] Unmochon Club (Bagerhat) 1-0 Prattyasha Club (Jessore) [Jun 30] Mohammedan SC (Khulna) 1-1 Uttar Alekanda BC (Barisal) [8-7 pen] Final [Jul 2] Unmochon Club (Bagerhat) 1-0 Mohammedan SC (Khulna) [Mujed 35] Chandpur Zone Quarterfinals [Jun 25] Najirpara KC (Chandpur) 2-0 Bhabaniganj PWA (Laxmipur) NB: PWA = Players Welfare Association or Khelwar Kalyan Samity [Jun 26] Brothers Un.
