The Bangladesh Judo Federation was established in 1972 as the Bangladesh Judo and Karate Federation.[1] In 2001, the Bangladesh Judo and Karate Federation were broken into two, Bangladesh Judo Federation and Bangladesh Karate Federation, by President of Bangladesh Shahabuddin Ahmed and Chief of Bangladesh Army Lieutenant General M Harun-Ar-Rashid.[2] On 14 March 2020, The Japan Judo Federation donated equipment to the Bangladesh Judo Federation.[3]

In 2019, President of Bangladesh Judo Federation, Brigadier General (Rtd) SK Abu Baker brought allegations against the General Secretary AKM Selim. This resulted in an investigation by the National Sports Council.[4]
