History

[edit]

BKSP's football activities started from 1986 with only 30 trainees and 2 coaches. In 2016, BKSP's Football Trainee Admission Program started, and the institution has set up training centers in Khulna, Dinajpur, Barisal and Sylhet. Former national team captains Mamunul Islam and Hassan Al-Mamun, along with many other notable football players have spent their youth careers at the institution.[4] Masoud Rana was the first BKSP graduate to represent the national football team, making his international debut in 1991.[5] Some of the institutions early success was found through the BKSP U-14 team, which won the Dana Cup in Denmark in 1990 and also the Gothia Cup in Sweden.[6] The success was largely credited to the institution's first football coach, Monsur Ahmed Sattar.[7]

During the 2013 Bangladesh Games, BKSP were crowned champions in football, after defeating Barisal District 2–1 in the final at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.[8] Both goals came from forward Rohit Sarkar, who was later called up for the Bangladesh U20 team.[9] In 2016, BKSP U14 team won the Subroto Cup sub-junior football tournament, and two years later they won the U-17 football tournament, both of which were held in India.[10][11]

BKSP were crowned champions of the 2017 Walton U-18 National Football Championship, defeating Dhaka District team on penalties.[12] In 2020, BKSP achieved one of their most notable victories by defeating Bangladesh Army in the services-zone final of the 2020 Bangabandhu National Football Championship.[13]

In 2022, BKSP partook in the Dhaka Second Division Football League, which started after a two-year gap. On 10 August 2022, BKSP defeated Bikrampur Kings 2–1, in the first game of the 2021–22 Dhaka Second Division Football League season.[14][15] Muhammad Imon and Al-Mirad scored the goals for the team.[16][17]
