History

edit

Dhanmondi Club took control of its current ground in Dhanmondi in 1962 when it was established.[3][4] In 2004, the President of Dhanmondi Club and vice-president of Bangladesh Football Federation, Khairul Anwar Piaru was shot dead inside the club premises.[5] In 2007, a court in Dhaka sentenced five people to death for his murder.[6] In 2009, the club was renamed Lt. Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club after Sheikh Jamal, a brother of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The club's occupation of the playground has been protested by Bangladesh Poribesh Abndolon, Bangladesh Environmental Lawyers Association, and Institute of Architects, Bangladesh.[7] The club promised to play quality football when called up to the Bangladesh Premier League in 2010–11 season directly from the Dhaka Second Division League.[8] The club was crowned champions in their inaugural season in the professional league.[9]

Performance in AFC competitions

edit

Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club have qualified for continental competition on two occasions.

2012 AFC President's Cup

edit

The first was in 2012 when they qualified for the third-tier AFC President's Cup. However, before the tournament started they withdrew,[36] citing security concern of playing in Pakistan.[37]

2016 AFC Cup

edit

Four years later, having won the 2013–14 Bangladesh Football Premier League, they qualified for the 2016 AFC Cup.[38] In the qualifying round, they were drawn in Group A along with hosts Alga Bishkek from Kyrgyzstan and Benfica de Macau.[39] They beat Benfica de Macau 4–1[40] in their opening game and then drew with hosts Alga[41] to qualify for the group stage without having to go through the playoff round due to a lack of teams in the east region. They were drawn against Tampines Rovers from Singapore, Ceres from the Philippines and Selangor from Malaysia.[42]
