history
The National Championship League was formed from the Dhaka League in 1999/00, before the National Association decided to introduce a professional league in 2006. The B. League was originally supposed to start in September 2006. Due to problems with the stadiums and the registration of players, the start was postponed until March 2007. The league was intended for twelve teams. But the club Sylhet DSA announced in January 2007 not to participate in the league. No substitute team was used and the league started with eleven teams on March 2, 2007. The opening game of the B. League was played by the Sheikh Russell KC and the Mohammedan SC . Both parted 1: 1. The first champion of the new league was Abahani Ltd. Dhaka, who was able to successfully defend his title in 2008/09. The fakirer pool Young Men's Club was the sporting climber for the 2008/09 season. The league or the association did not let the club participate in the season. With Citycell , an official sponsor of the league was presented for the first time in the 2008/09 season.
