History
They finished qualified for the 2001 season from that season's Thimpu League,[3] and were drawn in Group A along with Paro and Druk Pol.[3] They beat Paro and drew with Druk Pol to top the group and qualify for the semi finals.[3] Although they lost to Samtse in the semi finals, they beat Druk Pol in the third place final to finish third overall.[3] It is known that Thimpu also participated in the 2002, although their final position is not known.[1] The only known result involving Thimpu is a 5–1 victory over Druk Pol.[1] In 2015, Thimphu became the first Bhutanese club to hire a foreign coach when they hired Fabio Lopez. However, the Italian coach resigned from the club without coaching a single game due to difficulty in adjusting to living conditions in the country.[4]
