Josco Football Club is a football club based in Ernakulam district, Kerala, formally of the I-League 2nd Division.^[1]

Early Years

Josco Football Club was formed in 2007 by the owner of business conglomerate Josco Group, Tony Jose. The team was led into the Ernakulam Second Division with the then coach and now assistant coach TG Purushottaman with the aim of playing in the lower leagues for a year and then shooting from the hip towards the ultimate goal. that of getting into the I-League and staying put. TK Chathunny joined the club as coach in late 2008 with the 2009-2010 season and future of the club in mind.^[2]

Josco FC took part in 2011 I-League 2nd Division in 2010 and narrowly missed out on promotion owing to inexperience at this level. The club then skipped out of next season in the 2012 I-League 2nd Division.
