Mohamed Sohel Rana (Bengali: মোহাম্মদ সোহেল রানা; born 13 December 1991) is a Bangladeshi footballer who plays as a midfielder for Chittagong Abahani in Bangladesh Premier League.[2]

Club career[edit]

On 24 November 2016, Sohel's free kick goal from 30 yards earned financially struggling Muktijoddha Sangsad KC a crucial win against his former club Mohammedan SC during the 2016 Bangladesh Premier League.[3]

On 23 February 2022, Sohel scored the winning goal for Abahani Limited Dhaka in the Dhaka Derby. He dedicated his long range strike to his late wife and son, who were both killed in a street accident in 2018.[1][4]

International career[edit]

Sohel was called up to the Bangladesh national football team for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers by head coach at the time Jamie Day. However, he was not able to make a single appearance during the qualifiers.[5]

Personal life[edit]

On 24 November 2018, while Sohel was returning to Dhaka from his house in Manikganj with his family to join Sheikh Russel KC for the upcoming 2017–18 Independence Cup, a speeding truck crashed into his motorcycle. The collision killed his wife Arfin Akter Jhuma, and four-year-old son Abdullah on the spot, while Sohel himself sustained serious injuries.[6]
