Mohammed Sujan (Bengali: মোহাম্মদ সুজন; born 1 June 1982) is a retired Bangladeshi professional footballer who played as a defender and at times was deployed as a defensive midfielder.[1] He played for the Bangladesh national team from 2001 to 2013.[2] He was also an integral member of the 2003 SAFF Gold Cup winning Bangladesh team.[3]
Club career[]
Controversies[]
During 2008, Sujan took half his contract money from Abahani and was supposed to stay with the club that season. However, Sujan decided to return to his former club Brothers Union.[4] Nevertheless, due to the controversy Sujan ended up returning to Abahani before the start of the season.[5]
Bangladesh national team[]
Sujan played four out of the five matches during the 2003 SAFF Gold Cup. He helped Bangladesh keep a solid defense as they only conceded twice during the entire tournament. On 1 January 2003 after a 1-1 stalemate during the 2003 SAFF finals against Maldives, Sujan stepped up to take the last penalty during the shootout and kept his nerves as Bangladesh won their first ever SAFF Championship. The match is seen as one of the most important matches in the countries footballing history.[6] After a six year absence from the national team, newly appointed head coach Nikola Ilievski recalled Sujan in 2011, after watching his performances in the league with Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club.[7] Ilievski made Sujan the captain of the national team during the 2011 SAFF Championships. On 4 March 2013, Sujan made his last appearance for the national team against Nepal during the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers.[8]
