History
In 2019, two businesses person Samrat Mohim Talukdar and Farhad Hossain established Bikrampur Kings. The name derived from Munshiganj District, historically known as Bikrampur, which is an old region in Bengal and was a part of the Bhawal Estate.
The clubs founder was businessman Samrat Mohim Talukdar, while Bashundhara owned outfit Bashundhara Kings, also had a major part in the clubs formation.
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh, Bikrampur Kings took part in the 2019–20 Dhaka Third Division Football League. The club also recruited ex-Bangladesh national team player Md Shamim as their head coach.[2][3]
On 5 March 2021, Bikrampur Kings played their first divisional league game, in a goalless draw against Lalbagh SC at Kamlapur. In their first season, the club managed to qualify for the Super League round by finishing fifth in the first round. During the Super League Bikrampur earned a memorable win over Narinda JLC, and eventually confirmed promotion to the Second Division by clinching the fifth and final promotion spot.[4]
Before the 2021–22 Dhaka Second Division Football League went underway, the club held a talent hunt at the BSSS Mostafa Kamal Stadium, while replacing head coach Md Shamim with another former national team star and Munshiganj born striker Mizanur Rahman Dawn.[5] On 10 August 2022, Bikrampur started their league season with a 1–2 loss against BKSP.[6]
