The Bangabandhu National Football Championship (Bengali: বঙ্গবন্ধু জাতীয় ফুটবল চ্যাম্পিয়নশিপ), previously known as the Sher-e-Bangla National Football Championship or the Sher-e-Bangla Cup is a district-level national football tournament in Bangladesh, contested by districts and government institutions of the country. The tournament is run under the supervision of the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF).
History
The tournament was introduced by the East Pakistan Sports Federation in 1963 in memory of A. K. Fazlul Huq, who was popularly known as Sher-e-Bangla, upon the request of Abbas Mirza, former captain of Calcutta Mohammedan. Initially, the tournament would see Dhaka League clubs, University, and Secondary Education Board teams compete.
Following the Independence of Bangladesh, the tournament was reintroduced in 1973 as an inter-district national football competition contested by the district teams and government institutions under the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF). On 10 January 2020, the BFF decided to revive the National Championship after a gap of 13 years, celebrating the 100th birth anniversary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Upon its resumption it was renamed as the Bangabandhu National Football Championship.
