History

The East End Welfare Association was established in 1886 in Gendaria, Dhaka. The association inaugurated its own sports club, the East End Club, in 1933.^[1]The Dhaka Sporting Association's 42nd annual report for 1937–38 mentions the club's participation in the Dhaka Third Division Football League prior to the Partition of India.^[3]

In 1953, the club won the Dhaka Second Division Football League under the captaincy of Abdul Hamid and entered the First Division Football League the following year.^[4]

The club's most notable achievement following the Independence of Bangladesh was finishing as runners-up in the inaugural Independence Cup, where they lost to Mohammedan SC in the final.^[5]

In 1975, the club pushed for a title charge, defeating the likes of Mohammedan and Brothers Union. However, they missed out on the league title due to alleged political influences affecting their form in the league's second-leg.^[6] The club faced its initial relegation from the top-tier in 1986.^[7]
