Bangladesh at the AFC Asian Cup

Bangladesh is among two South Asian teams, the other being India, to have participated in the AFC Asian Cup. Having qualified to the tournament successfully in 1980 AFC Asian Cup, this is also Bangladesh's best record ever to date in the big tournament. Before gaining independence at 1971, Bangladesh participated in Asian Cup qualification as part of Pakistan.

Similar like most South Asian nations, football in Bangladesh is lagged behind cricket.[1]
