Narayanganj Suktara Sangsad (Bengali: নারায়ণগঞ্জ শুকতারা সংসদ) is a Bangladeshi football club based in Narayanganj. It is the first club from Narayanganj District to have competed in the Bangladesh Premier League.

The 4,000 capacity Narayanganj Osmani Stadium was its home venue when it competed in the Premier League in the 2009–10 season and the club have been absent from professional football since its relegation in the same season.[1]

History

[edit]

Narayanganj Suktara Sangsad was formed in 1974 and is located in the Isdair neighborhood of Narayanganj City Corporation. The club soon became one of the largest in Narayanganj District and an established force in district football competitions. Narayanganj Mohsin Club is considered Shuktara's main rival club.[2] Encounters between Shuktara and Mohsin Club have involved instances of fights between their supporters in the gallery.[3]

In 2009, the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) organized the Bashundhara Club Cup Championship with District Football League champions outside Dhaka. Shuktara participated in the tournament as the 2008 Narayanganj First Division Football League champions and also became champions by defeating Feni Soccer Club 1–0. Its title triumph saw them being provided with Tk 3 lakhs along with entry to the country's first professional league, the Bangladesh Premier League.[4]

The club began its Premier League journey from the 2009–10 season, only to be relegated in its inaugural season.[5] The Narayanganj Osmani Stadium, located near the clubhouse, was used as its home venue and hosted 12 professional league fixtures. They played 24 matches in the league, of which they won four. Following relegation, the club did not participate in the second-tier professional league, the Bangladesh Championship League since its establishment in 2012, citing financial difficulties.
