2012 AFC President's Cup

The first was in 2012 when they qualified for the third-tier AFC President's Cup. However, before the tournament started they withdrew,[27] citing security concern of playing in Pakistan.[28]

2016 AFC Cup

Four years later, having won the 2013–14 Bangladesh Football Premier League, they qualified for the 2016 AFC Cup.[29] In the qualifying round, they were drawn in Group A along with hosts Alga Bishkek from Kyrgyzstan and Benfica de Macau.[30] They beat Benfica de Macau 4–1[31] in their opening game and then drew with hosts Alga[32] to qualify for the group stage without having to go through the playoff round due to a lack of teams in the east region. They were drawn against Tampines Rovers from Singapore, Ceres from the Philippines and Selangor from Malaysia.[33]
