Samtse Football Club is a professional football club from Samtse, Bhutan,[2] based at the Samtse Dzongkhag Ground.[2] They finished last in the inaugural season of the Bhutan National League.[3]
History
[edit]A team named Samtse competed in the 2001 season of the A-Division, where they finished in second place, qualifying from their group stage section, but losing 3–0 to Druk Star in the final.[4] It is unclear whether this is the same team however, as the Bhutan Football Federation website states that the club were founded in 2012.[5] There is no record of a team from Samtse competing in the A-Division again, so presumably the two teams are separate and are merely representative teams from Samtse.[6]
The team competed in the inaugural season of the Bhutan National League, representing Samtse District.[7] Their first season of competition was not a successful one, as they lost all ten of their games, and finished bottom of the league, with a −31 goal difference.[7] Even though there was no relegation from the National League, they did not return to competition the following season.[8]
