Govt to set up Bangladesh's first sports institute

For the first time in Bangladesh, the Bangladesh Sports Institute will be established under the slogan "Center of Excellence," as confirmed by Youth and Sports Ministry Adviser Asif Mahmud Sojib Bhuiyan at a press conference today.

The Bangladesh Sports Institute aims to achieve national pride through high performance of athletes, overall success in sports, enhancement of athletes' physical and mental capabilities, improvement in sports strategies and leadership skills, and overall development. This initiative is being undertaken by the Youth and Sports Ministry.

Adviser Asif Mahmud stated at the press conference, “The Bangladesh Sports Institute will provide specialized sports services and infrastructure through effective collaboration with renowned national and international sports organizations, with the goal of developing internationally competent athletes and achieving high results at international levels.

Bangladesh aims to reach this goal through the Bangladesh Sports Institute.”
