== History ==
===Emergence=== Sheikh Russel Krira Chakra was established in 1995 and named after [[Sheikh Russel]], son of former President of Bangladesh [[Sheikh Mujibur Rahman]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |url=http://www.theindependentbd.com/arcprint/details/13691/2015-08-30 |title=Sheikh Russel Krira Chakra pays tribute to Bangabandhu |work=[[The Independent (Bangladesh newspaper)|The Independent]] |location=Dhaka |access-date=2018-03-21 |archive-date=22 March 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180322061826/http://www.theindependentbd.com/arcprint/details/13691/2015-08-30 |url-status=live }}</ref> The founder was Shahjahan Kabir, and striker Shofiqur Rahman Titu was appointed as the team's first ever captain in 1996. The club started its journey in 1996 with the [[Pioneer Football League (Bangladesh)|Pioneer Football League]]. Then in 1998 the team became runners-up in the [[Dhaka Third Division Football League|Dhaka Third Division]] and were promoted to the [[Dhaka Second Division Football League|Dhaka Second Division]], under the coaching of Wazed Gazi.
In 2002, Sheikh Russel KC became runners-up in the [[Dhaka First Division Football League (1993–2006)|Dhaka First Division]] (second Tier). In their first appearance in top-flight football in 2003–04 season, Sheikh Russel stunned traditional powerhouses like Abahani, Mohammedan and Muktijoddha Sangsad to finish second in the top-tier at the time, the [[Dhaka Premier Division Football League|Premier Division Football League]]. Since then, despite playing in the country's first professional top-tier league, the [[Bangladesh Premier League (football)|Bangladesh Premier League]] regularly, Sheikh Russel did not get the expected success until the start of the next decade.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/news/team-ethic-breeds-russel-success|title=Team ethic breeds Russel success|date=April 4, 2013|work=The Daily Star|access-date=4 August 2022|archive-date=4 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220804172514/https://www.thedailystar.net/news/team-ethic-breeds-russel-success|url-status=live}}</ref>
===Treble win and drought === In the 2012–13 season, Sheikh Russel KC got its highest success by winning the domestic treble, under the guidance of local coach [[Maruful Haque]]. Sheikh Russel defeated [[Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club|Sheikh Jamal DC]] 2–1 in extra time of the [[2012 Bangladesh Federation Cup|Federation Cup]] final to win a title for the first time its history. They then went on to win the 2013 [[Independence Cup (Bangladesh)|Independence Cup]] final, 3–2 against Sheikh Jamal. They completed the treble by again edging Sheikh Jamal DC, this time to the [[2012–13 Bangladesh Football Premier League|2012–13 Bangladesh Premier League]]. The team captained by goalkeeper [[Biplob Bhattacharjee]], only conceded 14 goals in league, while Haitian playmaker [[Sony Norde]], was the lethal, scoring 16 league goals.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.prothomalo.com/sports/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8B-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%99%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%97 |script-title=bn:পাতানো ম্যাচের কলঙ্কমুক্ত লিগ |work=Prothom Alo |language=bn |access-date=15 February 2021 |archive-date=11 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210411193842/https://www.prothomalo.com/sports/%E0%A6%AA%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8B-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%99%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A4-%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%97 |url-status=live }}</ref>
