A Brief Background
for the establishment of
Dhaka Akadash R.C Club

It was in the year 2001, the cell phone of GS Prince rung. Suddenly I heard over the cell phone. "Dada Pronam". This was a call from the Honorable Sports Minister of West Bengal. Mr Subash Chakarbarty. He said. "I know you are a good sports event organizer you would have shall organize two football matches for Bengal Cultural Utshab 2001. We shall bear all the expenses for the accommodation, transportation of your players in Air conditioned bus".

I would like to mention the name of Mr. Debu Joyti Mukerjee who went all the way to assist us in order to arrange such a historical event.

I was wondering how could I make such four but good luck would have it, I visited Dhaka University ground to witness "Practice Match" which was participated by some present and retired football players. I narrated the offer to Mr. Naqib he showed his iliness instantly at the university ground. I met and narrated what the Minister of sports of West Bengal offered me. There I met Jewell Rana, Raquib. Masud Rana, Iqbal, Bakhtiar, Minto, Don. Alamgir, Dulal Shah, Zakir, Hanif Prodhan, Pradeep Burewa, and Shakil. All of them agreed in once voice that a football club had to be formed in the name and style of Dhaka Akadash R.C Club.

The Journey of Dhaka Akadash R.C Club began with this inspiration, I can recall vividly the player who participated in the Bengal Utshab 2001. They insisted me to arrange a decent Hotel for stay in Kolkata. Hence I called the honorable sports minister of west Bengal to arrange accommodation. He replied with a strong positive note. "Tell your players, we shall arrange five star hotel Hindustan" all our player rejoiced over the honorable ministries offer.

On December 19, 2001 we embarked on our journey to west Bengal the moment we reached Hindustan Hotel" our players took a sigh of relief and appreciated the honorable sports minister to fulfill his commitment. We were greated by the honorable sports minister of west Bengal along with our officials. We were greated with the rose petals.

The following day an Exhibition Football Match" between west Bengal Akadash and Dhaka Akadash was held in "Hawra Stadium".

As prior to the opening ceremony of Bengal Utshab 2001, Mr Shoubash Chakarborty exchanged greetings between the players of the two teams.

Dhaka Akadash R.C won the match by 2-1 goal. In an another match in haldia Stadium Dhaka Akadash draw by 1-1 goal with IFA Akadash The stricker manju of Dhaka Akadash secured the goal. We attended the dinner at famous Niko Park of west Bengal.

At the dinner party the general secretary of Dhaka Akadash RC presented the club Jersey and a basket of famous Hillsa fish to the honorable sports minister of west Bengal in view of appreciation for promoting football between our two communities.
