Mohamed Mintu Sheikh (Bengali: মোহাম্মদ মিন্টু শেখ; born 3 December 1989) is a retired Bangladeshi footballer who played for the Bangladesh national team between 2010 and 2012.
Club career
[edit]Mintu made his top tier debut with Feni Soccer Club in 2009. His performances on the international stage resulted in a competition between Abahani Limited Dhaka and Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club to earn Mintu's signature. Eventually, both clubs named Mintu in their team for the 2012 league season, leading to Abahani sending a complaint to the Bangladesh Football Federation. They soon withdrew the complaint and Mintu went onto join Sheikh Jamal.[2]
The following year, Mintu signed for Mohammedan SC and in 2013, he scored the winning penalty against Sheikh Russel KC, as Mohammedan won the Bangladesh Super Cup.[3] He became the historic teams captain in 2018.[4]
International career
[edit]Mintu was one of the main architects of the Bangladesh U23 team's gold win at the 2010 South Asian Games, held in Dhaka.[5] He made his debut for the senior team the same year, on 16 February, in a 2–1 victory over Tajikistan in the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers held at the Sugathadasa Stadium.[6]
Personal life
[edit]On 19 November 2018, Mintu was arrested, however, had soon been granted bail in a case under Dowry Prevention Act in Bangladesh.[2][7][8]
