Sports in Bangldesh

Sports and games form an integral part of Bangladeshi's life. In the villages one might see a passel of kids kicking a football, or in some dusty alley one might see kids playing cricket.
Though Bangladesh is not a major sporting power in any sense, Bangladeshi athletes and sportspersons have brought her many laurels.

Besides cricket, there are many organized sports such as football, hockey, tennis, badminton, volleyball, handball, chess, carom, wrestling, weightlifting, squash, billiards and snooker. However, many of these sports are not as popular as cricket. Most of the country's sportsmen and women compete at district levels and there are university, armed forces and public sector sporting teams. In response to the country's interest in sporting activities, a large number of sporting clubs have been developed. Some of the most prominent clubs are the Dhaka Wanderers, the Abahani Krirachakra, the Dhaka Mohammedan, the Arambag, the Ajax, the Brothers Union, the Azad, the Dilkusha, the GMCC, the Muktijoddha Sangsad, the Suryatarun, the Kalabagan, the Victoria and the Wari sporting clubs. Often these clubs host national and sometimes even international tournaments, so many of their facilities are kept in the best condition possible. Overall, Bangladeshis are fond of sport and there is a good sporting infrastructure in the country.
