## History

[edit]

Main Gate of Bangladesh Tennis Federation

Bangladesh Tennis Federation was established in 1972. It established the National Tennis Complex in Ramna, Dhaka in 1977. In 1985, the Federation became a member of the International Tennis Federation based in London, United Kingdom. It is also affiliated with Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan. The federation is associated with 8 tennis clubs in Bangladesh; they are Barisal Tennis Club, Comilla Tennis Club, Engineers' Tennis Club, Mymensingh Tennis Club, Naogaon Tennis Club, Patuakhaii Tennis Club, Rajshahi Tennis Complex, and Sylhet Tennis Club.[2]

In November 2019, Golam Morshed, General Secretary of the federation, was suspended following a suit filed against him for sexual harassment at Gulshan Police Station by a female tennis player.[3][4] In 2020, the federation received criticism in the media for providing a fully funded trip to senior officials to the Australian Open.[5]
