The Bangladesh national football team represents Bangladesh in international football. It is managed by the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF). The team joined the AFC in 1973 and FIFA in 1976.

Bangladesh played its first official game in 1973. The team has not yet qualified for the FIFA World Cup. They played in the AFC Asian Cup once, in 1980. Bangladesh is one of only two South Asian countries to achieve this. The team's best wins have been in South Asia. They won the SAFF Gold Cup in 2003. They also won gold medals at the South Asian Games in 1999.

In the 1980s and early 1990s, Bangladesh was a rising team in Asia. However, since 2000, football in Bangladesh has been less popular. This is partly because the national cricket team became more successful. Football is still a popular sport in Bangladesh.

History of Bangladesh Football

Early Days (1895–1972)

In 1895, the Dacca Sporting Association (DSA) was formed in Dhaka. By the 1930s, football was growing in East Bengal. On November 21, 1937, the Islington Corinthians from England played against DSA XI in Dhaka. The Dhaka team won 1–0, which was the English team's first loss on their tour. Most DSA XI players were students from Dhaka University. People were very happy to see the local team win.

During the 1971 Liberation War, the Shadhin Bangla football team was formed. They played games across India to raise money for the new Bangladesh government. After Bangladesh became independent from Pakistan in 1971, a team called Dhaka XI was active. This team won a friendly match against Mohun Bagan and finished second in India's Bordoloi Trophy.

Starting Strong (1973–1984)

The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) was created on July 15, 1972. It joined the AFC in 1973 and FIFA in 1976. Sheikh Shaheb Ali became the first national team coach. Zakaria Pintoo, who led the Shadhin Bangla Team, became the captain.

On July 27, 1973, Bangladesh played its first official game. It was a 2–2 draw against Thailand in the Merdeka Cup. Enayetur Rahman scored Bangladesh's first international goal. On August 13, 1973, Bangladesh got its first win. They beat Singapore 1–0 in a friendly match.

In 1979, Bangladesh played in the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers for the first time. They drew with Afghanistan and Qatar. They then beat Afghanistan 3–2, which helped them qualify for the main tournament.

The 1980 AFC Asian Cup was held in Kuwait. Bangladesh lost all their games but scored two goals. Kazi Salahuddin and Ashrafuddin Ahmed Chunnu scored these goals. In 1982, Badal Roy scored a goal against Malaysia at the Asian Games. This was Bangladesh's first win in Asia's biggest tournament at that time.

Ups and Downs (1985–2002)

In 1985, Bangladesh played in the 1986 World Cup qualifiers. They got their first win in the qualifiers against Indonesia. Kaiser Hamid and Ashrafuddin Ahmed Chunnu scored the goals. They also beat Thailand 1–0.

In 1995, Otto Pfister became the coach. On November 4, 1995, Bangladesh won the 4-nation Tiger Trophy in Myanmar. This was the country's first major trophy. In 1996, FIFA ranked Bangladesh 110th, their highest ranking ever.

On January 12, 2001, Bangladesh played its first match against a European team, Bosnia & Herzegovina. They lost 2–0. On March 18, 2001, Firoj Mahmud Titu became the first Bangladeshi player to score against a European team. This was against FR Yugoslavia.

SAFF Gold Cup Victory (2003)

In 2003, Bangladesh hosted the SAFF Championship in Dhaka. Coach György Kottán led the team. Bangladesh won their first game against Nepal 1–0, with Alfaz Ahmed scoring. They also beat Maldives 1–0 and Bhutan 3–0.

In the semifinals, they faced India, who were the defending champions. Bangladesh won 2–1 with a "golden goal" from Motiur Munna. In the final, Bangladesh played Maldives again. Rokonuzzaman Kanchan scored early for Bangladesh. Maldives equalized, and the game went to a penalty shootout. Goalkeeper Aminul Haque saved a penalty. Mohammed Sujan scored the winning penalty. Bangladesh won their first SAFF Championship in front of 46,000 fans.

Recent Years (2003–Present)

After their SAFF Gold Cup win, Bangladesh struggled in other tournaments. They reached the final of the 2005 SAFF Championship but lost to India. In 2009, Brazil's Dido became coach. Under him, Bangladesh won two games in the 2010 AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers.

On June 29, 2011, Bangladesh beat Pakistan 3–0 in the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. This win allowed them to advance to the next round against Lebanon. They lost the first game 4–0 but won the second 2–0. However, they were eliminated.

In 2016, Bangladesh lost 3–1 to Bhutan in the AFC Asian Cup 2019 qualification playoff. This meant Bangladesh would not play in any AFC or FIFA tournaments for two years. By February 2018, Bangladesh's FIFA ranking dropped to 197, their lowest ever.

In May 2018, Jamie Day became coach. Bangladesh reached the 2022 World Cup qualifiers – AFC second round. They drew with India and Afghanistan. In September 2021, Javier Cabrera became the head coach. The team continues to work hard to improve their performance.

Team Kits

The Bangladesh national football team wears bottle green shirts and dark red shorts. These colors come from the national flag of Bangladesh. Green stands for the rich land, and red represents the rising sun and the blood of those who fought for independence. The away jersey is usually the opposite color. The team's kit often features the logo of the Bangladesh Football Federation.

In 2011, Grameenphone became the team's sponsor for three years. After a few years without a sponsor, TVS Motor Company from India sponsored the team from 2019 to 2021. In 2021, the federation held a contest to design a new jersey for the 2021 SAFF Championship. In 2025, Dour, a local sportswear company, signed a two-year deal to be the kit sponsor. Also in 2025, United Commercial Bank signed a five-year deal to sponsor the men's senior national team.

Supporters

Bangladesh football fans

In the 1970s and 1980s, football was very popular in Bangladesh. The Dhaka First Division League attracted many fans. However, since the 2000s, football's popularity has decreased. This is because other sports have become more successful. The National Stadium in Dhaka often has low attendance for games.

Outside Dhaka, football is still very popular. Games in Sylhet and Jessore draw large crowds. In August 2014, 50,000 fans attended a friendly match in Sylhet. This was between Bangladesh U23 and Nepal U23. The stadium was so full that fans broke the main entrance to get in.

The first official supporters group for the national team, the Bangladeshi Football Ultras, was formed in 2019.

Bangladesh Red and Green Teams

From 1981 to 1993, the President's Gold Cup was held almost every year. The Bangladesh Football Federation entered two teams: Bangladesh Red and Bangladesh Green. This was because many good players could not get into the main national team.

The "second string" or youth players often played for these teams. In the 1989 President's Gold Cup, Bangladesh Red won the tournament. They beat the South Korea University team in the final. This is not considered Bangladesh's first international trophy. This is because the tournament mostly included club teams.

Home Stadiums

National Stadium, Dhaka

Bangladesh plays most of its home matches at the National Stadium in Dhaka. This is where they won the 2003 SAFF Championship. The stadium was first built in 1954. The Bangladesh Football Federation took full control of the stadium in 2004.

Before 2011, the National Stadium could hold about 55,000 people. After renovations, its capacity is now 36,000. It is still the largest stadium in Bangladesh. Since the Bangladesh Premier League started in 2007, the stadium has hosted most league games. It has hosted the SAFF Championship three times: in 2003, 2009, and 2018.

The National Stadium was renovated again in 2021. It is expected to reopen in 2025. The renovations include new seats and large LED screens. This is part of the Bangladesh Football Federation's plan to create a modern football stadium. Sometimes, home matches are also played at other stadiums. These include Sheikh Kamal Stadium in Nilphamari, Sylhet District Stadium in Sylhet, and Bashundhara Kings Arena in Dhaka.
