Nangpa Football Club (also known as Ngangpa[2]) was a football club from Thimphu, Bhutan, who played in the A Division between 2010 and 2012. They are one of the least successful teams to have played top-flight football in Bhutan, finishing last in each of the three seasons in which they competed.
History[edit]
Nangpa's first recorded season in the top flight of Bhutanese football was in the 2010 season,[2] having been promoted from the B-Division at the end of the previous season.[3] They struggled in their first season in the A-Division, picking up only a solitary point in a draw against Druk Athletic.[2] They also suffered several heavy defeats, losing 9–1 and 9–2 to Yeedzin and 9–1 to Druk Pol,[2] scoring only fourteen goals in their twelve games, the lowest of all competing teams.[2]
The following season was equally unsuccessful for the club. Although there appears to have been no relegation from the A-Division at the end of the previous year, and although few details are available, it is known that Nangpa again finished bottom.[4]
2012 was Nangpa's final season to date in the A-Division. Again they finished bottom of the league, although they were able to pick up their first ever top-flight victory in a 2–1 win against Dzongree.[1] Overall however, this was probably Nangpa's least successful season. They suffered very heavy defeats to Druk Pol, 19–0 and two against Yeedzin 16–0 and 12–0.[1] Scoring only five goals in their ten games, they were this time relegated along with Transport United to the B-Division with a −70 goal difference.[1]
Details are scant for their first season back in the B-Division, although it is known that they played.[5] However, they can have finished no higher than third at the end of the season, as they did not participate in the promotion / relegation play-off matches.[5]
