Dunbeholden Football Club is a Jamaican football club based in the community of Dunbeholden in Portmore, Jamaica. The club competes in the Jamaica Premier League since gaining promotion at the start of the 2018–19 season. [1] [2]
History
The club was founded in 1992 by Donovan Witter. [3] Since its inception the club competed exclusively in the South Central Confederation regional leagues until gaining promotion to the Jamaica Premier League. [4] Dunbeholden defeated Wadadah F.C. 4-0 in the 2017-18 Magnum/Charley's JB Promotion Playoffs to gain promotion to Jamaica’s premier football competition. [5]
After a hard start to the first season of premier league football, Dunbeholden dug deep to lift themselves out of the relegation zone and remain in the top flight. [6] In the 2022 Jamaica Premier League season Dumbeholden finished runners-up in their first ever JPL finals appearance to mark their best premier league finish to date. [7] The runners-up result sealed Dunbeholden a spot in the inaugural 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup.
The kick-off to the 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup marked an historic occasion for Dumbeholden Football Club, it being the club’s first ever appearance in an international competition and the first time a CONCACAF Caribbean Cup kicked-off in Jamaica between two Jamaican clubs. [8]
Supporters
The community of Dunbeholden is nestled off the south-eastern end of Salt Pond Road, a major thoroughfare that joins the cities of Spanish Town and Portmore. [9] Because of its geographical location, the club boasts large fanbases in both St. Catherine cities. After securing promotion to the Jamaica Premier League for the 2018-19 season, the club decided to play their home games at Prison Oval in Spanish Town. [10] With ambitions to bring football back to their community, the St. Catherine-based club broke ground on their home field in 2019 to improve the facility to meet required Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) standards. [11]
Rivalries
Portmore Derby
Because of Dunbeholden’s rise in status as an established premier league team that regularly competes for playoffs positions and their close proximity to league giants Portmore United, a local derby between the two clubs have developed. Dubbed the Portmore Derby, the matchup is hotly contested and is regularly impactful on the end of season playoffs places. [12]
