Bangladesh had been overwhelmed by the Football (Soccer) games right from its inception in 1971. Football in Bangladesh has a huge following which was exemplified when the national team made history in their victory at the South Asian Football Federation Cup in 2003.

List of football clubs in Bangladesh:

1. Mohammedan Sporting Club (MSC)
2. Abahani Krira Chakra (Abahani Sporting Club)
3. Muktijoddha Sangsad KS
4. Brothers Union
5. Sheikh Russell KC
6. Arambagh KC
7. Rahmatganj MFS
8. Farashganj Sporting Club
9. Dhaka Wanderers
10. Victoria SC
11. Wari Club
12. Sadharan Bima
13. Azad Sporting Club

The most popular sport in Bangladesh at this moment is Cricket, Bangladesh being the top 9th team in the world, followed by football (soccer), and kabaddi. Kabaddi is the national sport of Bangladesh.

In 1980, Bangladesh became the runners-up in the first Asian Kabaddi Championship and India emerged as the champion. Bangladesh became runners-up again in the next Asian Kabaddi Championship held in 1985 at Jaipur, India. Bangladeshi kabaddi team won the bronze medal at the 2006 Asian Games.

Traditional Sports of Bangladesh are still practiced mostly in rural areas. All are not equally favorite now because of the invasion of western games. “Hadudu”(also known as ‘kabaddi’) is the only internationally recognized traditional sport of Bangladesh. Besides “dariabandha”, “gollachut”, “satchara”, “borofpani”, “birinchi”, “kutkut”, “kanamachi”, “tillo”, “Sologuti”, “Bagh-chagol” etc are still popular in sub-urban and rural areas.

Hope above helps.
