Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club

Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club (Bengali: শেখ জামাল ধানমন্ডি ক্লাব) is a professional football club based in the Dhanmondi area, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The club competes in the Bangladesh Premier League, the top-flight of football in Bangladesh. It was known as Dhanmondi Club before adding the founder's name after turning into a limited company. Sheikh Jamal Club is one of the most successful football clubs in Bangladesh.

Dhanmondi Club took control of its current ground in Dhanmondi in 1962 when it was established. In 2004, the President of Dhanmondi Club and vice-president of Bangladesh Football Federation, Khairul Anwar Piaru was shot dead inside the club premises. In 2007, a court in Dhaka sentenced five people to death for his murder. In 2009, the club was renamed Lt. Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club after Sheikh Jamal, a brother of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The club's occupation of the playground has been protested by Bangladesh Poribesh Abndolon, Bangladesh Environmental Lawyers Association, and Institute of Architects, Bangladesh. The club promised to play quality football when called up to the Bangladesh Premier League in 2010–11 season directly from the Dhaka Second Division League. The club was crowned champions in their inaugural season in the professional league.

Lt. Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club wanted to use Faridpur Stadium as a their home Stadium for the 2018–19 Bangladesh Premier League however they had to play all of their matches at the Bangabandhu National Stadium which is in the Motijheel area in the heart of the city. The stadium had a capacity of close to 55,000 before the work of renovation, making it then the largest stadium of the country. After the renovation, it still remains the largest stadium of the country.
