BFF General Secretary Emran Hossain Tushar made the information public on Sunday.

FIFA had previously levied fines of 11,250 Swiss Francs and 1,400 Swiss Francs for security issues during World Cup qualifying games against Lebanon on November 21, 2023, and the Maldives on October 17, 2023, both held at the same venue.
