Bangladesh Premier League

The Bangladesh Premier League can be considered as "fully professional" since it fills the criteria's required, such as player salary and spornsorships:[1][2][3][4].The league also fills the "fully professional" criteria by having the required facilities and equipments [5].Red004 (talk) 11:13, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

This confirms that foreign players get paid a good salary, but not all players; the other sources only confirm there is sponsorship in the league. That is irrelevant, sponsorship happens at most levels of football to some degree. Where is the source that says all players are paid a full time wage? GiantSnowman 11:40, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

[6] this article should confirm that even the domestic players get paid full time wage.Red004 (talk) 15:34, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

That same source that says "All the footballers are not getting big amounts. The number of players getting big paycheques is very small [...] While the top names in domestic football, especially the national team players, are drawing big bucks, the ones who are usually not on the fringes of the national team are getting much less, which is also reflected in the total payments of clubs which usually occupy the mid and lower part of the table" and therefore does not confirm the fully professional nature of the league?

  • Coming in a little late, but the whole point of according presumptive notability to a league is the presumption that each and every player who has ever so much as taken the pitch for five minutes can reasonably meet the GNG. This shouldn't be just handed out like so much popcorn. As GiantSnowman accurately states, damn near every level of sports has sponsorship: Little League kiddie teams in America have been having uniform sponsors for many decades.

Hi, just bring Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Drilon Ajeti to people attention as the author Ardihaliti2000 has claimed that the league is now fully professional citing https://www.ffk-kosova.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/rregullorja-statusi-lojtareve-2021.docx as evidence of this.

@Ardihaliti2000: Would it be possible to quote the relevant section here and translate it? --SuperJew (talk) 21:11, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
A small point regarding the "regulatory status" which is my offhand translation of "rregullorja statusi". There's a huge difference between legal professional status and actual professionalism in our sense. In Norway for instance, the third highest tiers for men and the highest league for women constitute the "top level of football" operating with so-called professional contracts. However most of these players work other jobs, so they and 3/4 of the mentioned leagues are not fully professional. Geschichte (talk) 21:17, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
Agree; ideally we need a reliable, third-party source clearly stating the league is fully-pro, not questionable wording from the organisation itself. GiantSnowman 22:18, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
