Bangladesh's Sajjad Becomes Head Coach of Emirates

Sajjad Hossain’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Sixteen years ago, he created a golden moment for Bangladesh by raising the country’s flag high in Kolkata. That moment is still vividly etched in the memories of many.

Today, he arrives in Dhaka as the head coach of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) national archery team, marking a new chapter in his career. His achievements, particularly the way he has elevated the standard of archery in the UAE and the results he has delivered, are truly commendable.

Archery in Bangladesh has come a long way, and Sajjad Hossain has played a crucial role in that progress. From his early days to today, his hard work and accomplishments are worthy of much recognition. According to him, "In Bangladesh, players are passionate about the sport, but here (in the UAE), the number of players is fewer." However, the patience and time he has invested in coaching have made the results visible. Recent successes, such as the UAE team winning gold at the West Asian Championship and securing second place in Qatar, speak volumes about his coaching success.

However, the most proud achievement of Sajjad’s own career is the golden moment in Bangladesh's archery history—his gold medal win in Kolkata in 2009. The flag that fluttered proudly that day still remains one of the most memorable events of his life.

Taken together, Sajjad Hossain has undeniably become a guiding light for Bangladeshi archery. His journey serves as an inspiration for future generations to come.

His notable Achievements:

Gold medal in archery in 2009 (Kolkata), West Asian Championship (UAE team wins Gold in 2023) &
Qatar Championship (UAE team finishes 2nd 2023)

Sajjad's journey is a testament to the power of dedication, and his influence on both Bangladesh and the UAE will surely inspire young archers for many years to come.
