Mohammedan Sporting Club Limited is a Bangladeshi professional football club based in Dhaka. Founded in 1936, it is one of the oldest and the most successful football club in the country, with a support base in all parts of the country.[1] The club currently competes in the Bangladesh Premier League.[2][3][4]

The football section of Mohammedan Sporting Club began soon after the club's establishment in 1936. In its early years, the team quickly established itself as one of the top clubs in the country. During the 1940s and 1950s, Mohammedan's football team enjoyed a golden era, winning numerous local championships and establishing a dominant presence in domestic football.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the club achieved significant success in national tournaments, including the Dhaka League and various regional competitions, becoming a symbol of football excellence in Bangladesh. The club's passionate fanbase, known for their unwavering support, has played an essential role in Mohammedan’s success over the years.

Throughout the decades, Mohammedan Sporting Club has been one of the top contenders in the Bangladesh Premier League, regularly competing for titles and enjoying memorable victories. The team has also been a major force in the historic Dhaka Derby, the intense rivalry with Abahani Limited Dhaka, which remains one of the most anticipated football matches in the country.

Today, Mohammedan Sporting Club continues to be one of the most respected football clubs in Bangladesh, with a rich legacy and a strong competitive spirit.

History

[edit]

The club began in Hazaribagh. Members of the famed Nawab family of Dhaka wanted to establish a local club for the youth. As a result, Muslim Sports Club came into being in 1927. Nine years later, with Khwaja M. Ajmal as its president, it was renamed Mohammedan Sporting Club, after its more renowned predecessor the Kolkata Mohammedan.[5][6][7]

Though it was established to create enthusiasm for sports amongst the local Muslim community, the club later broke the race, class and ethnic barrier and became a crowd favorite.

In the late 40s, MSC started to flourish with Mohammad Shahjahan at the helm. Shahjahan left Kolkata Mohammedan and came to Bangladesh after the partition. The 1950s was a time for Dhaka Wanderers. They were the top dog in the sporting arena. In 1956, some of their star players and senior officials joined MSC and started restructuring the club. The results were evident as MSC secured their first league title in 1957. The same year they won the Independence Cup, thus ensuring their domestic double. The trophies kept coming over the next two decades.[8]

Before independence, Mohammedan also clinched the Dhaka League title in the year of 1959, '61, '63, '66 and '69. It was not easy to find success against teams like Dhaka Wanderers and Victoria SC. Yet, Mohammedan did not yield to failure, they pursued their way. Mohammedan won the Aga Khan Gold Cup for the first time in 1959. They repeated the feat twice, in 1964 and 1968.[9]

On 11 May 1972, Mohammedan played against Indian club Mohun Bagan under captaincy of Zakaria Pintoo, which was the first visit of a foreign team in independent Bangladesh.[10] Dhaka Abahani adds a new dimension to domestic football in the post-independent era. And it begins a new rivalry involving Dhaka Abahani and Dhaka Mohammedan termed Dhaka Derby which took no time to spread the passion and madness throughout the country. Abahani won the league in 1974 and 1977 but the decade, however, belonged to Mohammedan as they got the better of their hardcore rival to win the league in 1975, 1976, 1978 and 1980.

They were unbeaten in the first division league from 8 September 1985 to 15 March 1990. They played 76 league games during those one thousand six hundred and fifty days winning 66 of them and drawing 10 times. They scored 160 and conceded 24 goals.[11] The Black and Whites took the league title three times in a row from 1986 to 1988.[12] The last time Mohammedan won the league was back in 2002 and with all these years gone, they are still the most number of league winners in Bangladesh- 19 times.

Mohammedan won the Federation Cup ten times, beating Abahani six times in the final. They won their last Federation Cup title back in 2009.[13] Mohammedan also won the most expensive domestic football tournament of the country, Super Cup twice by taking the inaugural edition in 2009 and then the one in 2013. Their record attendance for a football game is nearly 45,000 which took place in 2009.[14]

They had their touch on Independence Cup title three times in 1972, 1991 and 2014 with the latest triumph being their last title in any domestic competition thus far.

Dhaka Mohammedan was the most dominating force in continental competitions among Bangladeshi clubs as well. They made it to the Asian Club Championship (the then Asian Champions League) semi-final round in 1988 thus becoming the first-ever Bangladeshi club to do so.[15] They participated in this tournament a record six times making it to the finals thrice, a record yet to be matched by any South Asian club.[16]
