Previously, due to their subpar performance, the BOA had excluded the men's football team from the delegation.

The Hangzhou Asian Games are scheduled from September 23 to October 8, 2023.

Bangladesh made history during the last edition of the games in Jakarta, Indonesia, by qualifying for the knockout stage for the first time.
