Colours[edit | edit source]
The Bangladesh national football team plays in bottle green shirts and dark red shorts embedded. Also with red and green stripes. Green and red are the historic national colours of Bangladesh, originating from the national flag of Bangladesh. The red represents the sun rising over Bengal, and also the blood of those who died for the independence of Bangladesh. The green stands for the lushness of the land of Bangladesh. The current Bangladesh away jersey is completely diametric to the regular one.
Home stadium[edit | edit source]
Bangladesh plays majority of their home matches at the Bangabandhu National Stadium, Dhaka, where they won the SAFF Championship in 2003 and 2010 South Asian Games football gold medal. The Bangabandhu National Stadium also hosted both 2009 and 2018 SAFF Championships. Occasionally home matches are also played at MA Aziz Stadium in Chittagong, Sylhet District Stadium in Sylhet, Rajshahi District Stadium in Rajshahi and Shamsul Huda Stadium in Jessore. Since 2020, the Bangabandhu National Stadium was once again used as the teams home venue and after the 2021 Bangladesh Premier League season, the stadium went under a year-long renovation process, as BFF have planned to organize both Bangladesh Football League and future football related events on the ground.[1]
