Bohemian Sporting Club was a Filipino football club based in Manila, Philippines. It was founded in 1910 and was one of the first clubs to be established within the country. The club, during the earliest phases of football in the Philippines, imposed its dominance in the country, winning 10 national championships in the early decades of the 1900s.[2]

After ceasing to exist by the 1930s, due to the socio-political shifts in the Philippines as a colony, then as an independent nation, followed by the breakout and aftermath of the second World War, a group whose headed by chairman Jason de Jong formed, in 2017, a football school and an academy as a tribute to the legendary club. In 2018 the group launched on the field its football club, adopting the historical club's emblem to honor the success of its history. The new Bohemian Sporting Club's ownership group now operates in developing the youths by giving them the opportunity to play in various tournaments, while the men's amateur senior team also participated in the 7s Football League in 2019 and 2020, a 7-a-side football league based in Manila.
