Abahani Limited Dhaka

The Dhaka Derby between Abahani and Dhaka Mohammedan, is seen as the biggest game in Bangladeshi football, although the rivalry was bigger in the past. Dhaka Mohammedan and Dhaka Abahani had their first encounter during the 1973 Dhaka League. The late Amalesh Sen scored the first goal in that match and became the first-ever goal scorer in the history of the Derby. During the early 70s the rivalry began, after Abahani broke Mohammedan Dhaka League dominance, by winning their first league title in 1974.[13] The entirety of 80s and late 90s football scene in the country was dominated by the two forces. The derby has produced many memorable moments including the "Black September" in 1982, event, when four Abahani players were arrested after the game, after being accused of attempting to overthrow the military government at the time.[14] Since the inception of the country's first ever professional league, called the Bangladesh Premier League, the rivalry has lost it's popularity among fans, nonetheless it still remains as one of the biggest games of the year during every season.[15] The professional league era has seen Abahani dominate, winning 6 league trophy's, while Mohammedan are still searching for their first. Abahani also lead the way when it comes to the country's main domestic cup as they have won 12 Federation Cup which is two more than their rivals. On 18 July 2019, Mohammedan earned their first victory over Abahani in 1496 days.[16]
