The growing momentum around Bangladesh football received another boost as Canada-based midfielder Shamit Shome took a significant step toward representing the national team. The 27-year-old visited the Bangladesh High Commission in Toronto to advance the process of obtaining his Bangladeshi passport. Shamit, currently a regular starter for Cavalry FC in the Canadian Premier League, has already secured clearance from the Canadian Soccer Association to switch his international allegiance. He also received birth certificates of himself and his parents with coordination from the Bangladesh Football Federation.
