Partner with the National Minifootball League

We are raising support around a transparent league budget, not one-off event sponsorship. NMFL is designed to repeat and to scale: sixteen clubs, two cities, four months, one national final and one pathway to the national team.

Why now

  • Bangladesh has established football clubs, venues and a large football audience that can move into a new format.
  • Bangladeshi minifootball is building its international pathway through the WMF and the Asian confederation.
  • WMF’s 2026 rules update gives a current technical reference for competition design.
  • Digital registration, content and fan products let a league be measured as a media and sports property.
  • Starting with sixteen clubs keeps season one manageable and gives a template for more divisions and cities.
