History

In 2017, Gymkhana FC won the National Football League (NFL) Division 2 title and will be promoted to NFL Division One for the next season. [2] [3]

However, Gymkhana FC made the new for the wrong reasons. On 21 October 2018, a referee was allegedly hit in the face by their player Jufri Hassan after being sent off in the match against Katong FC. The player received a life ban from the FAS. [4] [5]

The club was later expelled from the NFL in December 2018 as they were unable to field 11 players at the point of kick-off on three separate occasions in the course of the competition. [6]

Gymkhana returned to football in 2019 when they participated in Singapore Island Wide League (IWL). They finished 4th after losing to Bedok South Avenue SC in the third-fourth playoff. [7]

Gymkhana sealed their first-ever IWL title after defeating Tanah Merah United 3-2 in the 2025 Island Wide League final on 30 August 2025. [8] The two finalists would be promoted to 2026 SFL Division 2. [9]
