**Chandon Roy** ([Bengali](/source/Bengali_language): চন্দন রায়; born 4 May 2007) is a Bangladeshi professional [footballer](/source/Footballer) who plays as a [defensive midfielder](/source/Midfielder_(association_football)) for [Bangladesh Premier League](/source/Bangladesh_Premier_League_(football)) club [Bashundhara Kings](/source/Bashundhara_Kings) and the [Bangladesh national team](/source/Bangladesh_national_football_team).

## Early career

Chandon was born in Amnagar village of [Nilphamari Sadar](/source/Nilphamari_Sadar_Upazila). While still in seventh grade he was trained in the Academy of District Sports Association. In 2019, he came to [Dhaka](/source/Dhaka) with Chamir Uddin School and College to participate in the Clear Men U-17 Football Championship, where 272 schools across the country participated. After his school finished in third-place, Chandon was selected among the best six players of the tournament, securing an opportunity to practice with English club [Manchester City](/source/Manchester_City).[2] However, due to the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic) his trip to Manchester was canceled. Initially opposed to his decision to pursue football as a career, Chandon's father, Gaurang Roy, changed his stance in February 2021 when Chandon successfully trialed for the [BFF Elite Football Academy](/source/BFF_Elite_Football_Academy).[3][4]

## Club career

### BFF Elite Academy

After passing trials at the [BFF Elite Football Academy](/source/BFF_Elite_Football_Academy), Chandon made his professional league debut in the [2021–22 Bangladesh Championship League](/source/2021%E2%80%9322_Bangladesh_Championship_League), coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute against [NoFeL SC](/source/NoFeL_SC) in the academy's inaugural league game on 20 February 2022.[5] He was part of the Starting XI for the first time on 3 March 2022 in a 2–0 victory over [Gopalganj SC](/source/Gopalganj_SC). Chandon was made vice-captain during the second phase of the league and also served as captain during games against [AFC Uttara](/source/AFC_Uttara) and [Agrani Bank SC](/source/Agrani_Bank_Ltd._SC). Chandon came on as a substitute during all three games in the [2022–23 Independence Cup](/source/2022%E2%80%9323_Independence_Cup_(Bangladesh)). He was ever-present in the Elite Academy team during the [2022–23 Bangladesh Championship League](/source/2022%E2%80%9323_Bangladesh_Championship_League) and also captained them during four games when main captain, Imran Khan, was injured.[6]

#### Sheikh Russel KC (loan)

On 26 August 2023, Chandon made Bangladeshi football history by becoming the first player to transfer clubs through an auction, joining [Sheikh Russel KC](/source/Sheikh_Russel_KC) for Tk 9 lakh on a season-long loan.[7][8][9] On 27 October 2023, he made his debut for the club against [Rahmatganj MFS](/source/Rahmatganj_MFS) in the [2023–24 Independence Cup](/source/2023%E2%80%9324_Independence_Cup_(Bangladesh)). He played 90 minutes in all three fixtures in the tournament as Sheikh Russel failed to advance past the group-stages, however, it was enough for Chandon to get his maiden [Bangladesh national team](/source/Bangladesh_national_football_team) callup.[10]

## International career

### Youth

On 5 September 2022, Chandon made his debut for the [Bangladesh U17](/source/Bangladesh_national_under-17_football_team) team during a 5–1 victory against [Sri Lanka U17](/source/Sri_Lanka_national_under-17_football_team) in the [2022 SAFF U-17 Championship](/source/2022_SAFF_U-17_Championship).[11] He also played in the [2023 AFC U-17 Asian Cup qualifiers](/source/2023_AFC_U-17_Asian_Cup_qualification) held in [Dhaka](/source/Dhaka).[12] In the same year, Chandon was allowed to train with the senior national team as a guest player, after impressing coach, [Javier Cabrera](/source/Javier_Fern%C3%A1ndez_Cabrera). In 2023, he represented the [Bangladesh U20](/source/Bangladesh_national_under-20_football_team) team during a disappointing [2023 SAFF U-19 Championship](/source/2023_SAFF_U-19_Championship) campaign.[13]

### Senior

On 5 November 2023, he earned his first callup to the [Bangladesh national team](/source/Bangladesh_national_football_team) as part of a 30-member preliminary squad for the [2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC second round](/source/2026_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_AFC_second_round).[14][15] On 28 February 2024, Chandon was included in the national team preliminary squad for home and away fixtures against [Palestine](/source/Palestine_national_football_team) in the second round of the World Cup qualifiers.[16]

On 21 March 2024, at 16 years and 321 days old, Chandon made his senior international debut, coming on as a 72nd-minute substitute during a 0–5 defeat to [Palestine](/source/Palestine_national_football_team) in the FIFA World Cup second round.[17]

## Style of play

After being selected as one of the best six players of the Clear Men U-17 Football Championship, he was compared to [Bangladesh national team](/source/Bangladesh_national_football_team) captain [Jamal Bhuyan](/source/Jamal_Bhuyan).[2] Chandon's coach in [Sheikh Russel KC](/source/Sheikh_Russel_KC) and former national team midfielder, [Abdul Baten Komol](/source/Abdul_Baten_Mojumdar_Komol), has praised his positioning sense and ability to read the games pace.[10] His coaches in the [BFF Elite Academy](/source/BFF_Elite_Football_Academy) have also stated that, although Chandon possesses potential, his first touch needs improvement if he wishes to become a senior international.[6]
