Shahid Uddin Ahmed Selim

Shahid Uddin Ahmed Selim (; 23 July 1953 – 5 January 2022) was a Bangladeshi football coach and former player. He spent his entire club career with Brothers Union and had both played for and coached the Bangladesh national team. Selim captained Bangladesh during the 1980 AFC Asian Cup, which was the first and only time the country has qualified for the AFC Asian Cup to date.

International career Selim made his international debut for Bangladesh in the 1975 Merdeka Tournament held in Malaysia. The national coach at the time, Abdur Rahim, included Selim in the team as a backup center-back following the retirement of Zakaria Pintoo. He later captained the Bangladesh U19 team during the 1977 AFC Youth Championship.

In 1978, several players quit the national team following a captaincy dispute involving Mohammedan's Shahidur Rahman Shantoo and Abahani's Nannu. In response, the federation decided to refrain from selecting captains from the two Dhaka teams. Consequently, Selim was named the national team captain in 1980. He captained Bangladesh during the 1980 AFC Asian Cup in Kuwait.

Managerial career After retirement from football as a player, Selim started coaching in the lower divisions and regularly trained City Club. In 1987, he led Bangladesh Boys Club to the Dhaka Third Division League title. In 1988, he made his First Division debut as a coach with the newly promoted Fakirerpool Young Men's Club. In his first season, Fakirerpool finished sixth in the league and reached the Super League round. On 16 March 1990, Selim lead Fakirerpool to a 2–1 victory over Mohammedan SC, which ended their record of being unbeaten in the league for one thousand six hundred and fifty days. Selim got his coaching license in 1990 from Bangalore, India. During the same tournament, Selim became the first national team coach to defeat South Asian giants India, thanks to a brace from striker Rizvi Karim Rumi. From 1994 to 2009, he was the Joint Secretary of Brothers Union and served as head coach until 2000. Selim was the Vice President of the Gopibagh-based club from 2010 until his death in 2022.
