The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) expressed profound shock and sorrow at the demise of Aga Khan IV, who as the leader of the world's Ismaili Muslims fused entrepreneurship and philanthropy in becoming one of the world's wealthiest hereditary rulers.

"His Highness Mawlana Shah Karim Al Hussaini Aga Khan IV died on Tuesday in Lisbon at the age of 88," a press release said on Wednesday.

Aga Khan, a visionary leader whose contributions to education, healthcare, poverty alleviation, cultural preservation and sports have left a lasting legacy.

He played a significant role in the development of football in the region through the prestigious Aga Khan Gold Cup, which was one of Asia's earliest international club tournaments.

Established in the 1950s in Dhaka, the tournament brought together top teams from across the continent, helping to elevate the standard of football in Bangladesh and beyond.

The Aga Khan Gold Cup served as an inspiration for the establishment of club football competitions in Asia, paving the way for the modern AFC Club tournaments. It remains a cherished part of Bangladesh's football history, symbolizing a golden era of the sport.

The BFF president Tabith Awal, along with its senior vice-president, vice presidents, executive committee members, general secretaries of all standing committees and officials and staff expressed their deepest condolences at the demise of Shah Karim Al Hussaini. �BSS
