The sports community mourns the sudden passing of Monir Hossain, the treasurer of the National Kabaddi Federation, who was widely recognised for his lifelong dedication to the development of kabaddi in the country. Known for his unwavering presence at every event, Monir’s contributions left an indelible mark on the sport. Most recently, he had been appointed treasurer of the federation’s adhoc committee.
Tragically, Monir Hossain passed away late last night due to complications from a stroke. He was 54 years old at the time of his death. His untimely departure has sent ripples of sorrow across both the kabaddi and football communities, where he was equally respected for his commitment and leadership.
Monir’s involvement in sports extended far beyond kabaddi. He had a deep connection with football, having served as a referee in domestic matches and later assuming various roles within the Football Referees’ Association committees. Colleagues remember him as a meticulous organiser, a mentor to younger officials, and a passionate advocate for the promotion of local sports.
The Kabaddi Federation expressed profound grief over the loss of one of its most devoted members. A tribute to Monir’s lifelong service will be held this morning at the Kabaddi Stadium, where his first funeral prayers will take place, drawing players, officials, and sports enthusiasts from across the nation.
