AFC Uttara

AFC Uttara, formally Azampur Football Club Uttara, is a club based in Azampur, Uttara, a suburb of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The club was built in 2009 next to the Azampur railway line on land rented from Bangladesh Railway, with local businessmen Shahidur Rahman Manik and Md Shahadat Hossain named as its first president and secretary. After a relatively inactive first decade, the club earned entry to the Bangladesh Championship League, the country's second tier, and in 2022 it was promoted to the Bangladesh Premier League following an investigation into match-fixing allegations that found no fixed matches involving the club.
