Skylark Football Club (Bengali: স্কাইর্লাক ফুটবল ক্লাব) is an association football club from Dhaka, Bangladesh. The club currently plays in Dhaka Third Division Football League, the fifth-tier in the Bangladeshi football league system.[1][2]
History
[edit]Skylark Football Club was established on 7 February 2021. The club took part in the Pioneer League (U-15) in 2021.[3][4] However, they were unable to secure the top four promotion spots to the Dhaka Third Division League. The club's striker Mehdi Hasan Minar finished as the tournaments top scorer with 15 goals.[5] Eventually, the club was given permission to directly participate in the Third Division League from the 2022–23 season, after meeting the required criteria. Upon confriming its place in the Third Division League, the club named Sofiqur Rahman Chowdhury as its new president.[6] The club finished third in its inaugural season competing in the fifth-tier, falling only a point short of promotion. Following the seasons conclusion, two of the club's players; Ismail Hossain and Abu Sayed were called up to the Bangladesh national under-17 team for the 2023 SAFF U-16 Championship.[7]
Kits and crest
[edit]Skylark Football Club is named after a small bird called Skylark. This bird's physical structure, speed and rhythm of flight, and ability to hover and change direction suddenly defeat bombers or fighter planes. The structure of their wings and tails is similar to two or three types of modern warplanes in the world. They work hard and try their best to achieve their goals. This inspired the club to be named Skylark Football Club, and the logo also features the wings and face of a soaring skylark. The color of the club's logo is golden brown, matching the skin color of the skylark bird. And due to the skylark's ability to fly like a bomber, the club was nicknamed The Bombers.
