In 1979, Gafur Baloch introduced teenage winger Khandoker Wasim Iqbal to the Dhaka football scene, who scored the only goal in a 1–0 victory over Mohammedan SC in the league.

The year 1979, was a disappointing one for the club, suffering heavy defeats in the Aga Khan Gold Cup at the hands of BJIC and the Afghanistan XI. Brothers had to wait till 1980 to enjoy their first major trophy success as they shared the first edition of the Federation Cup title with Mohammedan SC, after the final ended 0–0. Later in the season, they defeated the Black and Whites 3–2 in a league encounter, thanks mainly to their talisman goal-scorer, Mohammed Mohsin. This was also Mohammedan's only defeat that year, as they went on to win the league title. The first half of the 1980s saw some new faces in the team, goalkeeper Atiqur Rahman, defenders Shafiqul Islam Manik, Mazidul Islam Moni and Azmat Ali were regulars in the team. While midfielder Mosaddek and striker Mahmudul Haque Liton soon made their way into the Bangladesh national team. In 1981, Mohammed Mohsin enjoyed his best top-flight season, becoming top-scorer with 20 goals.

It was later in 1981, at the Aga Khan Gold Cup where The Oranges achieved their biggest success, by becoming the first Bangladeshi team after independence to win the title. They cruised through the group-stage, to face the tournament favourites the Oman, surprisingly winning 3–1, with goals from Wasim Iqbal, Bablu and Fazlu.

In 1985, coach Ali Imam who lead Abahani to consecutive league titles the previous year joined the Oranges. Imam was forced out by Abahani officials who appointed Kazi Salahuddin as their head coach. Notably, the Dhaka Metropolitan Football Committee had introduced the 3 point system in the league the previous season, and at that time the system was only used in England. With Imam determined for revenge, his side were unbeaten in the first phase of the league and were 2 points ahead of Mohammedan, and five points ahead of Abahani. However, in the Super league Brothers dropped points, and went into their final league match, against Abahani knowing that a victory would see them win the league. Even after taking 2–0 lead early on in the game, the Oranges lost the match 3–2, ending hopes for their maiden First Division title. The clubs all time top scorer Mohsin who played limited games after his injury in 1982, retired at the end of the season.

The Brothers Union field in Gopibagh, has been an integral part to their success, as they are one of the few clubs in the country to have a training ground of their own. In 1977, when the field was owned by Bangladesh Bank, some of the clubs players were jailed for taking possession of the ground. In order to gain the Gopibagh field's ownership, the clubs general secretary, Sadeque Hossain Khoka had to bring the country's president Lt. General Ziaur Rahman to the field. The president then stood on the field and announced ({{lit.|"whatever the name is, this will be the brothers' field, not an establishment's"}}). Although Bangladesh Bank, later tried hard to reclaim the Gopibagh field's ownership, they were unsuccessful due to the president's decision. It is also the largest practice ground used by a professional football club in Dhaka. In May 2023, Bangladesh Bank clashed again with Brothers over the possession of the ground, as the club prevented the bank from constructing walkways around the field, stating that it would increase the risk of injuries for players.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ajkerpatrika.com/275496/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%B2%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B6-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%82%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A0-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B8-%E0%A6%87%E0%A6%89%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A7%9F%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%A6%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%87|language=bn|title=বাংলাদেশ ব্যাংকের মাঠ ব্রাদার্স ইউনিয়নের দখলে|access-date=January 20, 2025|date=March 28, 2023|website=ajkerpatrika.com|archive-date=January 20, 2025|archive-url=https://archive.today/20250120080435/https://www.ajkerpatrika.com/epaper/ajpyqqsr6apz3|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.offsidebangladesh.com/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A0-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%96%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A6/|language=bn|title=মাঠ নিয়ে মুখোমুখি ব্রাদার্স ও বাংলাদেশ ব্যাংক!|date=May 28, 2023|access-date=January 20, 2025|website=Offside Bangladesh|archive-date=January 20, 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250120080355/https://www.offsidebangladesh.com/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A0-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%96%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%96%E0%A6%BF-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A6/|url-status=live}} In September 2024, Sabbir Ahmed Arif, member secretary of the club's convening committee elected on 17 August 2024, following the Non-cooperation movement, assured that the club had desires of renovating the ground with state-of-the-art facilities for both football and cricket.{{Cite web|url=https://www.dailynayadiganta.com/sports/19653362/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A0%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9F-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE|language=bn|title=মাঠে আর গরুর হাট বসবে না|date=September 28, 2024|access-date=January 20, 2025|website=Daily Naya Diganta|archive-date=January 20, 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250120075853/https://www.dailynayadiganta.com/sports/19653362/%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A0%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%97%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%9F-%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AC%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE|url-status=live}}
