Tawhidul Alam Sabuz was born on September 14, 1990, in Maheshkhali, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, where he spent his childhood and began his football journey. From playing in village tournaments to representing the nation, Sabuz’s rise in football is inspiring.

He made his mark early, representing Bangladesh at the U-23 level. His international debut came on November 7, 2010, in a match against Uzbekistan U-23 during the 2010 Asian Games.

Though it was his only appearance for the country’s youth team, Sabuz’s determination remained strong.

On February 16, 2010, at the age of 19 and five months, Sabuz debuted for the senior Bangladesh national football team in a friendly against Tajikistan.

In the 70th minute, he became a substitute for midfielder Abdul Baten Majumder Komol and contributed to Bangladesh’s 2–1 victory. He participated in three matches in his debut year, laying the foundation for a promising career.
