Wari formerly competed in the CFL First Division, second tier of the Calcutta Football League system.[5][6]
The club was established in 1898 as Wari Club in Dacca, East Bengal (present-day Bangladesh).[7] Following the partition of India, Calcutta-based members of the club shifted a branch in the city,[1][8] and it continues to participate in state tournaments conducted by the Indian Football Association.
History
Formation and journey in Dacca
When the Wellington Club was discontinued, a few of its sports-loving members in 1898 went on to form the Wari Club at Dacca and thus was established the oldest club in Dhaka.[9][7] Zamindar Rai Bahadur Surendranath Roy played a key role in the formation of the club.[10][7] The first success came in 1910 at Cooch Behar, when Wari defeated the British Kings' House club at a tournament.[7] After gaining popularity, the club in 1930, found their playing field at Paltan ground in Dacca. They also had moderate success in the prestigious IFA Shield tournament until 1945.[7]
From 1931, Wari also expanded to other sports like cricket, hockey, tennis, volleyball, table tennis and indoor games.
Later years after partition in Calcutta
Following the partition of India, while the main Wari club remained in Dacca, a branch of the club shifted its operations as Wari Athletic Club in Calcutta by 1949.[11] The founders of the club, Bhupendra Mohan Sengupta, also known as Pakhi Sen,[12] (played for East Bengal in 1939 and Dacca XI in 1937), Tejes Bagha Shome and Dinesh Dutta were all members of the Dacca Wari Club before the Partition. Through the initiative of the AIFF official Pankaj Gupta, they were inducted into Calcutta Football League third division by 1949. By 1952, they got promoted to First Division[13] and even reached the semi-finals of 1953 IFA Shield. The next year in 1954, Wari AC finished as runners up in the Calcutta Football League.[1] The club achieved fame when they defeated East Bengal 1–0 in the CFL in 1978, which prevented the "red and gold brigade" from retaining the title it won seven times between 1970 and 1977.[14] 1984 season was disastrous for the club as they finished in bottom of the league table consisting of twenty seven teams,[15] and was relegated to third division.[16] In 2003, Wari appointed legendary Iranian-Indian footballer Jamshid Nassiri as its technical director.[17]
After getting promotion from the CFL First Division (third tier) in 2019, the club on 28 July 2022, unveiled their new jerseys and announced new sponsors Maco Chicken and Hotel Royal Bengal, ahead of the CFL Premier Division B kickoff.[18] Wari got relegated to the third tier again in 2022 Premier B season with sixteen points in fourteen matches.[19]
In June 2023, the IFA announced that they have merged both Premier Division A and B of the Calcutta Football League ahead of its 125th edition, in which Wari was included in Group II.[20][21][22][23]
