Early career

Asadul Islam Sakib was born in Barisal, Bangladesh.[1] Sakib spent much of his early career at BKSP.[2] He represented Barisal Division at the 2020 U-17 Bangabandhu Gold Cup in 2020.

In November 2021, Sakib joined Bangladesh Premier League club, Uttar Baridhara. He scored his first top-tier goal in a 3–5 defeat to Sheikh Russel KC on 3 July 2022.[7] He finished his first season in the top-tier with 1 goal from 21 appearances, as his club were relegated to the Championship League.[8]

International career

Sakib represented the Bangladesh U20 team at the 2023 AFC U-20 Asian Cup qualifiers held in Arad, Bahrain. He made three substitute appearances in the qualifiers, as Bangladesh failed to qualify by finishing third in the five team group.[1] He was also part of the team which lifted the 2024 SAFF U-20 Championship in Nepal.[9] Sakib remained in the team for the 2025 AFC U-20 Asian Cup qualifiers,[10][11] during which he scored an own goal against Bhutan U20.[12][13]
