As Bangladesh’s archery team sets foot on the global stage once again. They carry more than just bows and arrows they carry the hopes of a nation. With every draw of the string and every release of the arrow.
Our athletes remind us of the quiet strength, dedication and resilience that defines the spirit of Bangladesh. Whether it’s reaching the quarterfinals or simply standing tall among the world’s best, their journey is already a victory of a testament to passion, preparation, and pride.
Ahead of the tournament, the newly formed ad-hoc committee of the Bangladesh Archery Federation held a press conference at the Bangladesh Olympic Association headquarters. There, the team’s bold goals were shared by none other than German head coach Martin Frederick.
Coach Martin spoke with confidence,
“Our first goal is the quarterfinal. At the same time, we’re aiming to improve our world ranking in the compound event as we look ahead to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.”
Five promising archers will represent Bangladesh in this competition. In the recursive division the three participants are Abdur Rahman Alif, Sagar Islam and Ramkrishna Saha.

“We’ve had great success in the World Cup before. We’ve even won a silver medal. In Shanghai, we once had a neck and neck semifinal against Korea and lost by just one point. We believe we can maintain that momentum this time as well.”
