Mohammed Shahidul Alam (Bengali: শহিদুল আলম সোহেল; born 1 May 1992), known by his nickname Sohel, is a Bangladeshi professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Bangladesh Premier League club Rahmatganj MFS.

Club career

[edit]

In 2007, Sohel began his career at Badda Jagoroni Sangsad in the Senior Division League in Dhaka.[4] The following year, he joined Abahani Limited Dhaka in the Bangladesh Premier League as the understudy to the veteran first-choice, Biplob Bhattacharjee.[5] Sohel made his breakthrough during the 2011 Super Cup, replacing the injured Ziaur Rahman in the tournament's semi-final against Muktijoddha Sangsad KC, which Abahani won 5–4 on penalties.[6] In the final against arch-rivals, Mohammedan SC, Sohel repeated his heroics and cemented his place in the team as he guided Abahani to a 3–2 victory in tiebreakers.[7][8] His first league triumph as a starter came in 2012.

International career

[edit]

Sohel represented the Bangladesh U19 team at the 2010 AFC U-19 Championship qualifiers in Bangkok, Thailand.[9] He made his debut for the U23 team during the 2013 AFC U-22 Championship qualifiers in Nepal.[10] On 2 December 2011, Sohel made his senior national team debut against Pakistan during a goalless draw in the 2011 SAFF Championship.[11] Sohel made a critical error while judging a long-distance free-kick from Bimal Gharti Magar to concede the first goal as Bangladesh lost the group deciding match against Nepal during the 2018 SAFF Championship, 2–0.[12] He was heavily criticized by both fans and local media as his blunder cost Bangladesh a place in the semi-finals.[13] Sohel was later excluded from the squad for the 2018 Bangabandhu Cup, held in the same month.[12]
