Champions before Independence
Dhaka First Division League (1948–1970)
In 1948, the Dhaka First Division League, also referred to as the Dhaka Senior Division League, was officially recognized and functioned as the top-tier football league of East Bengal (1948–1954), East Pakistan (1955–1948), and eventually Bangladesh following the country's independence in 1971. Although the league had been operating unofficially since 1915, the champions until its official recognition are mostly unrecorded.
