Hamza Choudhury received a royal reception upon his arrival in Bangladesh. The streets of Habiganj were lined with people eagerly waiting to greet him, a moment that did not go unnoticed by international media. As Hamza returned to action for Sheffield United following his match against India, the English commentator praised the extraordinary welcome he had received in Bangladesh.
The commentator remarked, "After a long journey, Hamza Choudhury is back in midfield. He recently played for Bangladesh against India and was welcomed like a hero in his ancestral homeland."
"And now, he's challenging Haji Wright (describing a tackle at that moment). When Hamza arrived in Bangladesh, he was met by an overwhelming sea of fans."
Returning from Bangladesh, Hamza wasted no time making his mark for his English club. He played 89 minutes, touched the ball 48 times, and completed 25 out of 31 passes with pinpoint accuracy. He won two duels, intercepted four crucial passes, and did not allow a single opponent to dribble past him throughout the match. When he was substituted in the 89th minute, the crowd rose to their feet in applause.
For most of the match, Hamza operated as a defensive midfielder. His contributions included two tackles, four interceptions, one block, and three recoveries, along with three passes into the final third. Though he did not score or assist, his impact was instrumental in his team's victory.
