City Club (Bengali: সিটি ক্লাব), also known as Mirpur Sports & Physical Culture Center or MSPCC City Club is a Bangladeshi football club based in the Mirpur, Dhaka. It currently competes in the Dhaka Second Division League, the fourth-tier of Bangladeshi f

History

The club was established in 1972 as Mirpur Sports & Physical Culture Center (MSPCC) in Mirpur, Dhaka.^[1] In 1984, a few of the club's founders, including the co-founder and club captain at the time, Hossain Mollah, bought Dhaka Second Division Football League club, Shahjahanpur SC, for Tk 1 lakh. In 1985, after both MSPCC and Shahjahanpur completed their merger, its general secretary, the late Sadeque Hossain Khoka, renamed the newly merged club as City Club.^[2]

In 2010, the club showed interest in turning fully professional and was rumored to take part in the second-tier professional football league, the Bangladesh Championship League.^[3] However, by the time the league got underway in 2012, the club's interest faded. In 2017, the club finished runners-up in the Pioneer Football League, which is the sixth-tier.^[4] They were directly promoted to the fourth-tier, the Dhaka Second Division Football League and took part in the 2018–19 league season.^[5]
