Football is currently the second-most popular sport in Bangladesh, after cricket,[1] and is governed by the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF). An interest in cricket resulting from the nation's success in Test cricket and participation in the Cricket World Cup overshadowed the past fame in the nation's football legacy. However, more football tournaments are being organized in and outside Dhaka than in any other sport, and football fever grips the nation during every FIFA World Cup as well as the Copa America and UEFA European Championship. Federation officials and experts are still hopeful about the development of football in the country within the next ten years, despite huge financial obstacles, inadequate technical adaptation, and a lack of professionalism.[2]
