WashingtonNews, Dhaka, Tuesday, May 06, 2025: Samit Som will be playing for the Canada national football team, FIFA, the regulatory body of the world football, said. The FIFA Player Status Committee has given a positive signal to Bafuf today. As a result, Samit is no longer a barrier to playing the Asian Cup selection match in Dhaka on June 5.

Buffalo Vice-President Fahad Karim was involved in the process of Samit from the beginning. “We received a letter from the FIFA Player Status Committee some time ago,” he said, “FIFA approval.” Now there is no formality to play for Samit Bangladesh. ‘

The FIFA letter does not mention that it can play directly for a certain country. Referring to the clause of the law, the matter is released on the country concerned. FIFA has mentioned some sections, saying that Samit is eligible for Bangladesh and can play him if he wants. FIFA also gave such a message in the past. ‘

Buffalo appealed to Samit last night to the FIFA player status committee. Regarding the result of the application within 24 hours, Fahad Karim said, “First of all, both of his parents are Bangladeshi by birth. Origin is quite strong. He then played in the Canada senior team but the Player Status Committee decided in a short time as it was not an official match. In addition, our president contacted FIFA’s concerned department. ‘

Hamza Dewan Chowdhury, who played in the English Premier Football League, took four months to get FIFA green signal. The positive news about Samit is coming out in just 24 hours is the achievement of the present Bafuf administration.

On April 7, Samit expressed interest in playing for Bangladesh. Birth registration, passport, Canada’s non -component and FIFA clearance have been collected within 20 days. Particularly in one day of passport, it is quite praiseworthy to get FIFA clearance.

The journey of expatriate footballers in the Bangladesh National Team started through Jamal Bhuiyan, a expatriate from Denmark. After Jamal, Tariq Kazi of Finland, Rahbar Khan of Canada and Kazem Shah and Hamza Chowdhury of England played in Bangladesh jerseys. Samit Som is joining their list.
