The club plays its home matches at the Naihati Stadium, which has a seating capacity of 25,000 spectators. The club's colours are primarily navy blue, red and white, reflecting the maritime heritage of Diamond Harbour.
Diamond Harbour Football Club was approved by the Indian Football Association (IFA) in 2022 to participate in the Calcutta Football League (CFL) First Division, the third tier of the state league structure.

In 2023, the Indian Football Association introduced a new format by merging the CFL Premier Divisions A and B into a single competition.
