Kayes Ahmed Selim takes charge as new Roller Skating Federation president

The government has formed a 29-member ad hoc committee for the Bangladesh Roller Skating Federation, appointing journalist, sports organiser and businessman Kayes Ahmed Selim as its new president.

Sports organiser and businessman Masud Ahmed Milon has been named general secretary.

The National Sports Council (NSC) announced the formation of the new committee in an official notification issued on Monday (November 9).

Seven members have been appointed vice-presidents: international athlete Md Javed, Mazharul Islam Khan, Md Yusuf, Lutfor Rahman, Kamal Anwar Ahmed, Golam Sarwar Faruk and Sharafatullah Arif.

Ashraful Alam Masum and Md Nadim have been named joint secretaries, while Md Rezaul Ahsan Akand has been appointed treasurer.


Outlining his vision after taking charge, new president Kayes Ahmed Selim said one of the committee's key priorities would be the overall development of roller skating and expanding the sport to every region of Bangladesh.

He said he had been familiar with roller skating for a long time and maintained longstanding connections with the sport's community.

During his tenure, he plans to improve the federation's activities and undertake initiatives to ensure the welfare of athletes and other stakeholders.


Selim said organising regular tournaments in Bangladesh was essential alongside participating in domestic and international competitions as a national sports federation.

He believes that consistent competition is key to the genuine development of any sport. Accordingly, the new committee intends to prioritise regular tournaments and ensure greater opportunities for athletes to compete.

The new president also revealed plans for a colourful and distinctive programme organised by the federation to mark the upcoming Victory Day.

With the new ad hoc committee assuming responsibility, stakeholders expect the federation to strengthen domestic competitions, improve athlete development and expand Bangladesh's participation on the international roller skating stage.
