History

Journey to the top flight (1995–2013)

The Baridhara-based team started its journey in 1995 with the help of some enthusiastic locals. Jahangir Alam was named the clubs general secretary. The club were promoted to the second division, now known as the Bangladesh Championship League, in the 2007 season after clinching the third division title. They were unlucky not to be promoted to the top-tier in their first season in the Championship league, where they finished league runners-up.[5]

After six years fighting for promotion, Baridhara finally succeeded to do so, during the 2013 Bangladesh Championship League season. The club finished runners up behind Chittagong Abahani Limited, with 6 wins from 14 league games. The teams start striker Nabib Newaj Jibon caught the eyes of top-tier teams, with 12 goals in 13 games, he was the most prolific player for Uttar Baridhara during their promotion to the Bangladesh Premier League.[6][7]

Since 2013, the club has been promoted to Bangladesh Premiere League twice and also relegated twice. Here is the professional league records of the club:
