History
Ozone Football Club was launched on 3 November 2015 by the Ozone Group with the goal of making the I-League by 2017.[13][14] The club were quick to make a mark on the local football scene, winning the BDFA Super Division in December 2015, within their first month of existence.[15]
On 2 August 2016, the club roped former Trinidadian international Cornell Glen as their foreign recruit who represented his country at the 2006 FIFA World Cup.[16][17] Thus he became the Ozone's first ever world cup player.
On 17 December 2016, it was revealed that the club would participate in the 2016–17 I-League 2nd Division.[11] Ozone were included in Group C along with Pride Sports, Fateh Hyderabad and Kenkre.[18][19] However, they could not advance beyond group stage.[6][20]
In the 2017–18 season, after winning the BDFA Super Division[21] under the guidance of David Booth,[22][23] Ozone FC continued their form in the I-League Second Division, reaching the final stages, eventually falling short of qualifying for the I-League,[24][25] where they finished on the third position.[26][27][28]
