After 5 years, the National Athletics Championship game is being held in Chittagong outside of Dhaka. City Mayor AJM Nasir Uddin formally inaugurated the event at the MA Aziz Stadium on Friday morning. Chittagong City Corporation is sponsoring competition in the management of Bangladesh Athletics Federation.

Speaking on the occasion, the mayor said he had to have the will to create himself. If it is not, it will not be possible to succeed in any way. If you think only Dhaka, there will be no development of athletics. We have to work with what we have. There are many limitations. Moreover, nothing can be done without patronage. Bangladesh Athletics Federation General Secretary Abdul Latif Mantu, Chittagong District Sports Organization Athletics Committee Chairman Mozammel Haque, Vice-President of the Federation Faruqul Islam also spoke further. 

Earlier, the program started with the raising of national anthem and flag. The march was held under the leadership of Ibadul Haque. The 43rd Athletics Competition opened last Thursday.  In collaboration with Chittagong District Sports Association (CJKS), 36 events are being organized in 2 groups of men and women. These include 22 events for men and 14 events for women.
