'''Eagles Football Club''' is an [[India]]n professional [[association football|football]] club based in [[Kochi]], [[Kerala]], that competes in the [[Kerala Premier League]].

==History==
The original Ernakulam Eagles was formed in 1955 in [[Kochi]] by a group of football loving students of St. Albert’s High School and NJ Joseph, their mathematics teacher and an ardent sports loving businessman.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://footballkerala.com/2011/03/25/2011-i-league-2-eagles-fc-team-profile/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=26 March 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110424200304/http://footballkerala.com/2011/03/25/2011-i-league-2-eagles-fc-team-profile/ |archive-date=24 April 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Varghese Chelatt, then manager of the school, became the first President of the club while an Imbayi Mather became secretary.

Ernakulam Eagles were active until the late 1990s, but professional commitments of its members made the administration of the club difficult. They then folded the club due to those reasons.

The team then announced their second coming in October 2010 as Kochi Eagles Football Club and made it clear that they have great plans to make history in keeping with their lineage. The team is now owned by Ziqitza Sports Management Pvt Ltd.

Eagles F.C. entered into an agreement with [[Reading F.C.]] in April 2013 where Reading would send coaches and identify players for training at the Madejski Stadium in Reading. The aim is to identify young talent from Kochi in the age group around 13 and take at least one of the best to play in the Premier League by 2018.
