History
Ryntih FC was founded in 1998 with the name Ryntih Sports & Culture Club in Mawlai Mawdatbaki, Shillong, in the Indian state of Meghalaya. The Seng Samla Mawlai Mawdatbaki, a non-profitable youth social welfare organization separated the Ryntih Sports Club in 1990, with the motive to encourage and support less fortunate players with the opportunity to compete at a distinguished level. The objective was to emphasize on the promotion of sporting activities.
The Ryntih Sports Club completed its registration to the Registration of Societies under the Society Registration Act in the year 1998.
In June 2020 they submitted bid documents for the direct entry in I-League, but could not enter.[3][4][5]
In July 2020 Ryntih SC signed MoU with Bhutanese club Transport United FC.[6]
