Team Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation (Team BJMC) was a football club in Bangladesh that was mainly located in the city of Dhaka.
History
[edit | edit source]
The club was formerly known as East Pakistan IDC prior to 1971 and Bangladesh JIC from 1971 until 1975, from which point onward the club had been renamed to Team BJMC. In 1981, the club had stopped all their football related activities. However, after 29 years, in 2010, they restarted playing professional football under new manager Arif Khan Joy, a former captain of the Bangladesh national team. In 2019, Team BJMC was relegated from the Bangladesh Premier League, the top-tier association football league in Bangladesh and postponed its football activities the same year.[1][2][3][4][5]
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.[5]
