Sports

Cricket is the undisputed sporting passion of Dhaka. The **Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium** in Mirpur is the home of the national team and the primary venue for the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). Football also holds a deep historical significance, centered around the **Bangabandhu National Stadium**, which hosts the national football team and historic rivalries between local clubs like **Abahani Limited** and **Mohammedan Sporting Club**. Archery, hockey, and shooting are also actively pursued, supported by various national federations headquartered in the city.
