The Bangladesh Olympic Association selected a team of seven athletes, four men and three women, for the Games, competing in five different sports (archery, athletics, golf, shooting, and swimming). Six of them made their Olympic debut, with freestyle swimmer Mahfizur Rahman Sagor returning for his second Olympic appearance from London 2012. Majority of the roster received their spots by wild card entries or Tripartite invitations, without having qualified. Meanwhile, golfer Siddikur Rahman, the only qualified sportsman of the team, was selected to carry the Bangladeshi flag in the opening ceremony.[1] Bangladesh, however, has yet to win an Olympic medal.

Bangladesh received an invitation from the Tripartite Commission to send a female archer to the Olympic tournament.[2]
