Arambagh Football Academy (Bengali: আরামবাগ ফুটবল একাডেমি) is the junior team of the Dhaka based club Arambagh KS.[1][2] It currently competes in Dhaka Senior Division League, the third-tier of Bangladeshi football, alongside its main team.
History
1981–2017
In 1981, Arambagh Krira Sangha formed a junior team to participate in the inaugural Pioneer Football League. The team became champions in 1984 defeating Aminbazar Club 2–1 in the final, and earned promotion to the Third Division. Nonetheless, the team were relegated and returned to competing in the Pioneer League within a season.
In 2014, the team won the Under 10-12 Football Festival arranged by the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF).[3] In 2016, after a 31-year absence, the team coached by Ibrahim Khalil Kala returned to the Third Division as champions of the Pioneer League once again. In the final held at Bangabandhu National Stadium, they defeated Gazipur City Football Academy 2–0.[4]
2018–present
In their first season back in the Third Division, the club became champions of the league held in 2018, earning a total of 23 points to secure their place in the Second Division.[5] The team entered the Second Division in the 2021–22 season, finishing seventh in their group of nine teams. The club earned 22 points from 14 games in the 2022–23 season and were bound to finish third. However, after the original runners-up, BKSP, were disqualified in the 12th round, Arambagh clinched promotion to the Senior Division as the runners-up. In the league table published by the BFF, Arambagh finished with a negative goal difference, scoring four times and conceding eight.[6][7] Arambagh Football Academy currently participates in the Dhaka Senior Division League 2025–26 season, the third tier of the Bangladeshi football pyramid, fielding its senior and junior combined team in the competition and holding the 13th position of the league table.[8]
