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]

MYA had got into trouble with the ANFA after the fans started throwing the seats off the Dasarath Rangasala Stadium after they got relegated, accusing the referee of bias.[citation needed]

Colours

The colours of the jersey (red and black) is designed to match the Haku Patasi, a traditional dress worn by the Newari women in the Bhaktapur area.[citation needed]
