International football is set to return to Dhaka’s iconic Bangabandhu National Stadium after a long hiatus, with a highly anticipated fixture between Bangladesh and Singapore on June 10. The match will mark the much-awaited debut of English Premier League player Hamza Dewan Choudhury in the national colours of Bangladesh.

Joining Choudhury in making his first appearance for the national team will be Canada-based footballer Shamit Shome, who is also set to earn his debut cap in the same match.

The development has sparked excitement among fans and officials alike. Abul Kalam Azad Majumdar, Deputy Press Secretary to the Chief Adviser, expressed his enthusiasm through a post on his verified Facebook profile on Tuesday, May 13.

“In the coming month, Hamza Choudhury will make his debut for Bangladesh at home against Singapore. This debut is not only special for him but also for another rising star who has already made us proud with his charismatic presence. I’m thrilled already!” his post read.
