Bangladesh Krira Shiksha Pratisthan, National sports institute in Savar, Bangladesh
Bangladesh Krira Shiksha Pratisthan is a national sports institute in Savar, Bangladesh, offering training across a wide range of disciplines. The grounds include football pitches, hockey fields, cricket grounds, and an eight-lane swimming pool, spread across a large campus with separate residential halls for male and female students.
The institute was founded in 1974 under the National Sports Council, originally under the name Bangladesh Institute of Sports. It was renamed and restructured in 1983 and began full operations three years later.
Students split their days between classroom lessons and athletic training, with cricket, football, and swimming woven into daily routines. This rhythm gives the campus a focused, working energy that visitors can notice as soon as they arrive.
The campus is large, so it helps to check in with staff on arrival to find specific training grounds or facilities. On-site housing, meals, and medical care are available for enrolled students, making the site largely self-contained.
The institute has a Department of Sports Science that works on exercise physiology, biomechanics, and sports medicine alongside the training programs. This research function was set up in 2000 and links scientific study directly to what happens on the training grounds each day.
