Wari Club Dhaka (Bengali: ওয়ারী ক্লাব ঢাকা) is an association football club from Dhaka, Bangladesh.[2][3][4] It is currently a team of Bangladesh Championship League (BCL).[5][6] Wari Club is one of the oldest football clubs of Bangladesh, established in 1898.[7] The club's motto is One heart one mind.

History

In 1898, after the discontinuation of Wellington Club, a few of its sports-loving members decided to form the Wari Club.[8][9] During the British rule in India, Rai Bahadur Surendranath Rai played a key role in forming the club.[7] After gaining popularity, the club in 1930, found their playing field at Paltan ground in Dacca. The first success came in 1910 at Cooch Behar, when Wari defeated the British Kings' House club at a tournament.[7]

In the prestigious IFA Shield tournament,[note 1] they had moderate success till 1945. One of their most noteworthy achievements came in 1917, when they defeated defending champions Lincoln Club in Calcutta.[7]

Since its establishment, the D.C. of Dhaka District became the clubs president without facing any competition.[10] Wari Club gained popularity in 1978, as they defeated Dhaka Abahani in the Dhaka League.[10] The team is currently competing in the Bangladesh Championship League.[11][12]
