In 1981, the club had stopped all their football related activities. However, after 29 years, in 2010, they restarted playing professional [[Association football|football]] under new manager [[Arif Khan Joy]], a former captain of the [[Bangladesh national football team|Bangladesh national team]]. In 2019, Team BJMC was relegated from the [[Bangladesh Premier League (football)|Bangladesh Premier League]], the top-tier association football league in Bangladesh and discontinued its football activities the same year.<ref>{{cite news |title=Team BJMC taste first win |url=http://www.thefinancialexpress-bd.com/2016/09/19/46417/Team-BJMC-taste-first-win |newspaper=The Financial Express |location=Dhaka |access-date=2016-10-12 |archive-date=12 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161012151806/http://www.thefinancialexpress-bd.com/2016/09/19/46417/Team-BJMC-taste-first-win |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Sk Jamal grab solo lead |url=http://www.thedailystar.net/sports/football/sk-jamal-grab-solo-lead-1286530 |newspaper=The Daily Star |date=2016-09-20 |access-date=2016-10-12 |archive-date=12 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161012225707/http://www.thedailystar.net/sports/football/sk-jamal-grab-solo-lead-1286530 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.daily-sun.com/post/411887/BPL-Football:-Team-BJMC-relegated-conceding-02-goals-defeat-to-Brothers-Union|title=BPL Football: Team BJMC relegated conceding 0-2 goals defeat to Brothers Union|work=Daily Sun|language=en|access-date=2019-12-29|archive-date=2 January 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200102093146/https://www.daily-sun.com/post/411887/BPL-Football:-Team-BJMC-relegated-conceding-02-goals-defeat-to-Brothers-Union|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://m.priyo.com/e/1022257|script-title=bn:বিলুপ্তির পথে বিজেএমসি’র ফুটবল!|work=Priyo.com|language=bn|access-date=2019-12-29|archive-date=29 December 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191229202424/https://m.priyo.com/e/1022257|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{cite news |date=24 February 2020 |title=BJMC closes football team |url=https://www.dhakatribune.com/sport/football/2020/02/24/bjmc-closes-football-team |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200225052959/https://www.dhakatribune.com/sport/football/2020/02/24/bjmc-closes-football-team |archive-date=25 February 2020 |access-date=5 July 2024 |work=Dhaka Tribune}}</ref>

The [[Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation]] (BJMC), the football club's owner, said the club was being dissolved due to a lack of funds. “Around Tk5-6 crores is required to run a football team. We couldn’t even pay the dues for the players from last season. When we are having trouble paying wages to workers, how can we run [a] football team?” said the BJMC chairman, mentioning that around 1,800 BJMC workers had lost their jobs including athletes from different sports.<ref name=":0" />
