Friends Social Welfare Organization (Bengali: ফ্রেন্ডস সোশ্যাল ওয়েলফেয়ার অর্গানাইজেশন) is a Bangladeshi football club based in Dhaka. It currently competes in the Dhaka Senior Division League, the third-tier of Bangladeshi football.
History
[edit]In 2004, Friends SWO won the Pioneer League 2002 edition, and secured promotion to the Dhaka Third Division League 2003–04 edition held in 2005.[1] In 2007, the club finished fourth in the Third Division, earning promotion to the Second Division,[2] which was next held in 2012, with the club finishing runners-up, earning promotion to the Senior Division.[3]
On 8 June 2017, the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) found both Friends SWO and Dhaka United SC guilty of playing a fixed match in the 2017 Dhaka Senior Division League. Friends SWO who finished bottom of the table and destined for relegation, had reportedly fixed their match against United, which helped their opponents avoid relegation. As a result, both clubs were fined Tk 50,000, with United also relegated alonside Friends SWO. Despite this, both clubs and the apparently relegated Badda Jagoroni Sangsad, was granted entry to the 2018–19 Dhaka Senior Division League after their relegation was unexpectedly overturned for reasons that remain unclear.[4]
The club withdrew from the Senior Division prior to the 2023–24 season which was eventually abandoned mid-way due to the 2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement. Nevertheless, they were allowed back into the league in the following edition, in 2025–26.
