The Jaguars is a Bangladeshi club managed by zishr. The team started its journey on 2009 in divsion III.6. After joining, the team spent its first 12 seasons in the same division. For the first couple of season the team played almost like a bot team. After first 6 season the team started to take shape. In the next six season the team won four league titles. Though the team could easily promote during this time, the team deliberately lost qualification matches to stay in the lower leagues. This decision was taken by the manager to aid the completion of some hard to get achievements. In season 22 the team directly promoted to division II.1. Jagurars never did very well in the cups and never got past round 4 (as of season 25).
The biggest achievement of the team came in season 25 by securing premier league title for the first time. When asked the management expressed that currently they are only thinking about winning the prestigious "Bangladesh Cup" title. They certainly need a bit of luck if they want to achieve their goal in the near future
Among all Bangladeshi teams Jaguars has the most number of different flags achieved by visiting and hosting different countries for friendly matches.
Spending time in the lower leagues helped the team to build a massive bank balance which can be a key factor for the teams future success.
History
Early Years
After the foundation of the team, The Jaguars struggled for wins. The team mostly spent time with training young talents and building up a strong squad. But a lack of consistent and futuristic plan hit the team hard. Even in the midst of such failure the management kept the team alive and continued financing the team.
Achievement Years
After the sixth season the management started to put more attention to the team and decided to go after some hard to get achievements. During this time the team accumulated a huge bank balance and completed some rare achievements. Due to the achievement focused team The Jaguars spent in division 3 until season 21. They deliberately threw the titles in two occasions to prevent from promoting. The low level of competition in division 3 helped the team to go after rare achievements while still managing to win 4 cup titles. The time spent in 3rd division finally paid off in season 23 when The Jaguars became the top achiever in Bangladesh.

Stadium
Castle dé Jaguars is the arena of The Jaguars. Just after the new management took control of the team the stadium went under major renovation. It was more than enough in size to accommodate the biggest crowds that showed up to witness their favorite team in action. But since season 21 the booming number of fans demanded a bigger stadium. After several times when the management failed to provide tickets to the fans on match day the club decided to upgrade the stadium in season 23.
