History

Sankata was a successful club in the 1980s, winning the national championship in 1980, 1983 and 1985. [4] After a string of poor performances and winning just five games out of 22 in the A-Division League 2010, the club was relegated to the Martyr's Memorial B-Division League after 38 years.[ citation needed ] However, they won the 2011 Martyr's Memorial B-Division League and has since been playing in Nepal's highest league. The club was runner-up in the 2018–19 Martyr's Memorial A-Division League, making it the best season since the 1980s, [5] in what The Kathmandu Post called a "stunning" performance. [6]
