Bangladeshi Footballer in Europe
There are several Bangladeshi descent footballers who are playing in different European countries. However, among the ones who have opted to play for the Bangladesh National Team, currently, 2 stars are actively playing in the European leagues. No doubt, Hamza is the mega star who has experience of playing in the English top-flight. In the 2024-25 campaign, he was sent on loan to the Championship club Sheffield United. But unfortunately, his parent club, Leicester City, also got relegated to the 2nd tier league Championship. Hence, he will have to play in the English 2nd tier for the Foxes.
Fahamedul Islam, who was born in Feni but moved to Italy at a very young age, is currently playing for Olbia Calcio. The Serie D side has recently extended his contract and he will be there for 2 more years. Fahamedul also made his debut this year for the Bangladesh NT.
Bangladeshi Footballers in Premier League
It’s only Hamza, the superstar of Bangladesh Football, who has had the honor to play in the EPL. No doubt, he is the biggest star of the entire sub-continent.
Bangladesh has a number of other immigrant players who currently reside outside the country. The BFF will try to bring them in, and it will certainly make the “Red and Green” team stronger.
