History


Machhindra FC was established in 1973.[4] For sponsorship reasons, it was named Machhindra Bahal Club in 2004,[5] and Machhindra Energizer FC in 2006.[6] The club was promoted to Nepal's top football division in 2004. The team was one of the first teams in Nepal to appoint a foreign coach, Johan Kalin, in 2013, claiming that he was the highest qualified coach in Nepalese football history.[7] He led the team to finish second in the league, for which he was praised for his tactics.[8]

The beginning of the 2020s started the clubs most successful time with two consecutive league championships.

On 5 April, Machhindra appeared in the 2022 AFC Cup qualifying play-off match against Blue Star of Sri Lanka,[9] at the Dasharath Rangasala Stadium but bowed out of the tournament losing 2–1.[10]
