Football club
Machhindra Football Club (formerly known as Machhindra Bahal Club)[3] is a Nepali professional football club based in the central Kathmandu neighborhood of Keltole, playing in the Martyr’s Memorial A-Division League.[4][5]
Machhindra FC was established in 1973.[6] For sponsorship reasons, it was named Machhindra Bahal Club in 2004,[7] and Machhindra Energizer FC in 2006.[8] The club was promoted to Nepal’s top football division in 2004. They appointed Swede Johan Kalin in 2013, claiming to be the highest qualified coach in Nepalese football history.[9] He led the team to a second-place finish in the league, and was praised for his tactics.[10]
The beginning of the 2020s represented the club’s 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,[11] at the Dasharath Rangasala Stadium but bowed out of the tournament by losing 2–1.[12]
Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules; some limited exceptions apply. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.
