From setbacks to success: charting a new course for national sports

Syed Aminul Haque Dewan Sajal from Bogura was appointed as General Secretary of the Bangladesh Swimming Federation during the BNP regime, while Mullah Badrul Saif from Gopalganj held a prominent position during the Awami League's rule. This illustrates the impact of political rivalry on the sports sector in the country. However, politics is not the only issue affecting the sports arena; the influence of district and divisional organizing councils, commonly referred to as forums, also plays a significant role. To understand this influence, it's essential to note that there are 55 sports federations and associations affiliated with the National Sports Council.
