History

edit

In 1964, residents of Naoremthong, a locality on the outskirts of Imphal, decided that they needed a club to give exposure for local football talents. Kangchup Road Young Physical and Sports Association was born and along with it, the hopes and dreams of Naoremthong.[1] KRYPHSA is crowd–funded community club. Funds collected from the 3,500 households in the Naoremthong area are used as base for club income, while tambola games, which are held twice a year and are very popular in the Imphal area, also contribute a sizeable amount to the club.[1]

Indian Women's League

edit

KRYPHSA participated in the preliminary round of inaugural season of Indian Women's League.[2] The club finished third in group stage, behind fellow Imphal Eastern Sporting Union and Jeppiaar Institute, failing to qualify to next round.[3] Though club got invitation from AIFF to participate in the final round later, it decided not to participate due to financial problems.[1]

In 2017–18 season, KRYPHSA finished the preliminary round second, behind Eastern Sporting Union and played in the final round.[4] KRYPHSA entered semifinal finishing top of the group. In semifinal, KRYPHSA lost to Rising Student Club in a penalty shootout.[5]
