The Bangabandhu National Stadium (BNS) has been renamed as National Stadium, Dhaka on Saturday, a circular from the National Sports Council (NSC), signed by NSC secretary Aminul Islam, confirmed. Built in 1954 in Paltan as Dhaka Stadium, Bangladesh's premier sporting venue hosted some major international sporting events through the years. Owned and maintained by the NSC, the infrastructure was renamed as the BNS during the Awami League regime (1996-2001).
The latest move comes as many other sporting facilities are being renamed, mostly being named after respective cities or districts.
