Sribhumi Football Club (Bengali: শ্রীভূমি ফুটবল ক্লাব), also known as Sreebhumi, is an Indian professional football section of Sribhumi Sporting Club. It is a residential club based in Chandannagar, Hooghly district, about 40km from Kolkata, West Bengal.[1] The club plays in the Calcutta Football League. Their women's team participated in Indian Women's League,[2] and currently participates in the Calcutta Women's Football League.
History
The club was founded in 2019, as part of the Sribhumi Sporting Club.[3] The club participated in the 2019–20 season of the Indian Women's League, where they bowed out in the group stage finishing fourth with five points.[4] For the 2020–2021, the club was invited into the final round after SSB Women's FC, failed to confirm their participation. Since there was no women's league in West Bengal, Sreebhumi was invited based on their previous season's performance.[2] In 2023–2024, the Indian Women's League was expanded to two tiers.[5] The club took part in Tier 2 and won the championship, and were promoted to Tier 1 again for the 2024–2025 season.[6] In the season opener in their away match at Chennai, they gave a tough fight to Sethu FC, before losing 0–1 on 12 January 2025.[7]
Considered upstarts in the echelons of Bengal football, they have managed to remain competitive in the state and national tiers and have developed a women's football derby with their city rivals East Bengal.[3]
