Shome is an active member of the Bangladesh national team, making his debut in June 2025 during AFC Asian Cup qualification and scoring his first international goal against Hong Kong in October.
“It’s a privilege for me to play for the Cosmos.” said Shome. “Everyone knows the history with Pelé and Beckenbauer but I also had the opportunity to play against great Cosmos players in 2016 when they had guys like Juan Arango and Ayozé. Things have come full circle and I’m really excited to get started.”
Before representing Bangladesh, Shome progressed through Canada’s youth national team system and earned two senior international appearances in 2020. Born in Edmonton to Bangladeshi parents, he received FIFA clearance to represent Bangladesh in 2025.
Shome will join the Cosmos immediately and will be eligible for selection upon completion of all league and federation requirements.
