History

In 2008, former national team captain Upendra Man Singh with a few other people having football background established a social club. It did social work and also gave football training to local youths to keep them from bad habits. Football For Education is the club's motto.[ citation needed ] The team gained promotion from the 2010 Martyr's Memorial C-Division League and again from the 2011 Martyr's Memorial B-Division League. They reached the semi-finals of the inaugural Ncell Cup knockout tournament, losing 2–0 to Ranipokhari Corner Team. They failed to maintain that form in the 2012-13 Martyr's Memorial A-Division League and got relegated by just one point.[ citation needed ]

Fans

MYA has a large fan-base particularly in the Bhaktapur district and possibly the biggest fan following in Nepal. They had the highest numbers of fans attending the games in the 2012-13 Martyr's Memorial A-Division League.[ citation needed ]
