Prior to the independence of
Bangladesh, the
East Pakistan Sports Federation (EPSF), reformed on 20 May 1951, served as the primary sports body in
East Pakistan.
Habibullah Bahar Chowdhury and Siddikur Rahman were the reformed organization's first president and general secretary, respectively. After the
Bangladesh Liberation War, the Bangladesh Sports Control Board was formed in 1972 in what was once the headquarters of the EPSF. In 1974 it became the National Sports Council.
Kazi Anisur Rahman was the first secretary of the National Sports Council from 9 February 1972 to 31 March 1975. ==See also==
