**Fortis Football Club** ([Bengali](/source/Bengali_language): ফর্টিস ফুটবল ক্লাব) is a [Bangladeshi](/source/Bangladesh) professional [football club](/source/Football_club) based in [Badda](/source/Badda_Thana), [Dhaka](/source/Dhaka).[1] They compete in the [Bangladesh Football League](/source/Bangladesh_Football_League), the top flight of Bangladesh football, having gained promotion as the [2021–22 Bangladesh Championship League](/source/2021%E2%80%9322_Bangladesh_Championship_League) winners.[2]

Despite being based in Dhaka, the club gives priority to players from [Chittagong Division](/source/Chittagong_Division) as majority of its owners are from the port city. The club also runs the [Fortis Academy Team](/source/Fortis_FC_Reserves_and_Academy), which competes in the [Bangladesh Championship League](/source/Bangladesh_Championship_League).[3]

## History

### Establishment

In 2020, Fortis Group established **Fortis Sports Academy Limited** as part of their football development project, the club president Shahin Hasan stated that the club's main purpose is to establish academies all around the country in order to create a pipeline of future international players. Before its league journey set about, the club established the [Fortis Football Academy](/source/Fortis_FC_Reserves_and_Academy). On 4 February 2020, [Bangladesh Football Federation](/source/Bangladesh_Football_Federation) gave the green signal for the club to directly enter professional football through the [Bangladesh Championship League](/source/Bangladesh_Championship_League), without having to play through the semi-professional [lower divisions](/source/Bangladeshi_football_league_system) in [Dhaka](/source/Dhaka).[4][5]

### Championship era

Fortis Sporting Academy was originally slated to embark on their domestic league journey from the [2019–20 Bangladesh Championship League](/source/2019%E2%80%9320_Bangladesh_Championship_League) season.[6] However, after the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Bangladesh) resulted in the cancellation of domestic football, they were compelled to postpone their long-awaited league debut for an additional year.[7] Before the start of the [2020–21 league season](/source/2020%E2%80%9321_Bangladesh_Championship_League), the club under the name **Fortis FC** had completed the signings of ten players with Premier League experience. Notable among them were Khan Mohammad Tara, Uttam Barua and former national team striker Towhidul Alam Towhid. They also appointed Akbor Hossain Ridon as head-coach.[8] On 8 February 2021, Fortis began their professional league journey as they drew 0–0 against [Farashganj SC](/source/Farashganj_SC) in the opening day of the new league season.[9] On 1 March 2021, the club registered their first victory, by defeating [Dhaka Wanderers](/source/Dhaka_Wanderers_Club) 3–2 as, striker Mohammad Hasanuzzaman registered the club's first professional league goal.[10] During their debut season, Fortis finished in third place and were only 2 points off from the top spot.[11]

Before the start of the [2021–22 Championship League](/source/2021%E2%80%9322_Bangladesh_Championship_League), president Shahin Hasan informed that the club recruited players from the then ongoing Chittagong Football League, and only retained 15 players from their previous campaign. Jahidur Rahman Milon was appointed as the new head coach and former senior national team defender [Atiqur Rahman Meshu](/source/Atiqur_Rahman_Meshu) was added to the club's coaching staff as an assistant coach. On 24 April 2022, Fortis recorded a goalless draw against newcomers [Azampur FC](/source/AFC_Uttara), which meant that the club were unbeaten in their previous 31 league games.[12] On 1 June 2022, Fortis secured promotion to the [Bangladesh Premier League](/source/Bangladesh_Premier_League_(football)) with two games to go, thrashing [Kawran Bazar](/source/Kawran_Bazar_Pragati_Sangha) 5–0, with forward Mohammad Hasanuzzaman scoring a hattrick. Fortis finished the league season with the least goals conceded, and veteran keeper Uttam Barua topped the cleansheet charts.[13]

### Premier League era

On 19 March 2022, Fortis initiated their former [2022–23 Bangladesh Premier League](/source/2022%E2%80%9323_Bangladesh_Premier_League_(football)) campaign with a 1–1 draw against the reigning league runners-up [Dhaka Abahani](/source/Dhaka_Abahani).[14]
