History

The club was founded in 2020 by a group of young professionals with the aim of promoting sports culture and steering the youth away from drug addiction. The club's philosophy is to nurture football talent at the grassroots level and provide high quality training facilities and coaching to develop world-class players. Their motto is "Players are bred, not born".[8]
