It currently competes in the [[Bangladesh Football League]], the top flight of [[Football in Bangladesh|Bangladeshi football]], having gained promotion from the [[2023–24 Bangladesh Championship League]].

==History== ===Early years (1960–1987)=== Fakirerpool Young Men's Club was established in Fakirapool, [[Motijheel Thana|Motijheel]] area of [[Dhaka]] in 1960.

During their time in the Second Division, the club produced talents such as [[Enayetur Rahman Khan]], nonetheless, failed to gain promotion to the top division for almost three decades. It was in 1987, under the coaching of [[Shahid Uddin Ahmed Selim|Shahiduddin Ahmed Selim]], that the club finally earned promotion to the [[Dhaka First Division Football League|First Division]], as unbeaten [[Dhaka Second Division Football League]] champions. Additionally, the club's striker, [[Mizanur Rahman Mizan]], finished as league top scorer with seven goals.<ref name="Early years"/>

The club also established a junior team, Fakirerpool Shurjo Torun Sangha (formerly Fakirerpool B), which began participating in the [[Pioneer Football League (Bangladesh)|Pioneer Football League]]. In the early 80s, the club helped players such as [[Imtiaz Sultan Johnny]], [[Monir Hossain Manu]] and [[Nurul Haque Manik]] began their careers in Dhaka football.<ref>{{cite news|first=Rubaid|last=Iftekhar|url=https://www.tbsnews.net/sports/young-mens-club-talent-producer-turns-gambling-house|title=Young Men’s Club: Talent producer turns into gambling house|website=The Business Standard|date=25 September 2019|access-date=20 February 2024|archive-date=20 February 2024|archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20240220140230/https://www.tbsnews.net/sports/young-mens-club-talent-producer-turns-gambling-house|url-status=live}}</ref>

===The talent hub (1988–1999)=== During their debut season in the [[Dhaka First Division Football League|First Division]], in 1988/89, Fakirerpool finished sixth and made the cut for the championship play-offs. The club's most notable achievement came during their second season in the top-flight, putting an end to [[Dhaka Mohammedan|Mohammedan Sporting Club]]'s historic 76-game unbeaten league run on 16 March 1990, with goals from Sadequl Islam Uttam and Shankar in a 2–1 victory.<ref>{{cite news|first=Masud|last=Alam|url=https://www.prothomalo.com/opinion/article/1634298/%E0%A6%90%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B9%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%A5%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%98%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%81%E0%A7%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8|script-title=bn:ঐতিহ্যের পথে ঘুরে দাঁড়াক মোহামেডান|website=prothomalo.com|publisher=[[Prothom Alo]]|language=bn|date=14 January 2020|access-date=14 January 2020|archive-date=28 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211228060431/https://www.prothomalo.com/opinion/column/%E0%A6%90%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B9%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%A5%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%98%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%81%E0%A7%9C%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%A1%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8|url-status=live}}</ref>

After finishing in the bottom ten positions (11th) in the 1992 season, they were not given entry to the [[Dhaka Premier Division Football League]] upon its introduction in 1993. Instead, they remained participants in the First Division, which began serving as the [[Dhaka First Division Football League (1993–2006)|second-tier]]. In the First Division's inaugural season as the country's second-tier league, Nazrul Islam Ledu guided the club to promotion to the Premier Division as league champions.<ref>{{cite news|first=Nazmul|last=Amin Kiron|url=https://kironsportsdesk.com/2020/07/21/5478/|script-title=bn:স্মৃতির পাঁতায় চট্টলার ক্রীড়াঙ্গনের অতিচেনা জনপ্রিয় ফুটবল ব্যক্তিত্ব নজরুল ইসলাম লেদু|website=Kiron Sports Desk|language=bn|date=21 July 2020|access-date=20 February 2024|archive-date=20 February 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240220145939/https://kironsportsdesk.com/2020/07/21/5478/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Upon their return to the top-flight, the club roped in numerous players from the [[Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan]] team which triumphed in both the [[Dana Cup]] and [[Gothia Cup]] in the early 90s. Some notable recruitments included, [[Hassan Al-Mamun]], [[Askar Khan Babu|Askar Babu]], Amin Rana and [[Mohamed Sohel Al-Masum]]. The young team coached by Nazrul Islam Ledu and captained by [[Golam Robbani Choton]], managed to survive the drop in their first season back. Eventually the club saw an improvement in performances, finishing in the top-five in both 1995 and 1996.<ref name="Early years"/> Nonetheless, were relegated to the First Division in 1999.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesb/bang99.html|title=Bangladesh 1999|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=20 February 2024|archive-date=20 February 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240220162943/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesb/bang99.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Financial woes and professionalization (2000–2018)=== Fakirerpool returned to the Premier Division once again after winning the 2003/04 First Division League. However, the club was relegated in the first season following their return and missed out on a spot in the [[2007 B.League]], the inaugural edition of the country's first top-tier professional football league, the [[Bangladesh Premier League (football)|Bangladesh Premier League]] (formerly B.League). From 2005 to 2006, the club remained inactive as the First Division was not held. Then, in 2007, it was merged into the Premier Division to create the [[Dhaka Senior Division Football League]], serving as the second-tier to the professional league.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thedailystar.net/news-detail-16649|title=Senior Division football from Dec 31|date=22 October 2009|website=The Daily Star|access-date=27 December 2007|archive-date=12 December 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231212135026/https://www.thedailystar.net/news-detail-16649|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2007, the club clinched victory in the inaugural edition of the Senior Division and was poised to participate in the [[2008–09 B.League]].
