Club history[edit]

Season 2068 B.S. (2011–12)[edit]

Manang Marshyandi started the season with a blast featuring the most expensive side with the names like Anil Gurung and Santosh Sahukhala. They also roped in Korean coach Lee Tae-Ho[3] which led the long-serving coach Balgopal Maharjan to become the deputy coach and finally being relieved from coaching duties. The side finished second, level on points with the champions Nepal Police Club, missing out due to goal difference. Their only consolation was beating the Police in the final (17th) round.[4] They were promoted to play the first ever Nepal National League.

Season 2069 B.S. (2012–13)[edit]

The club was reorganised and Krishna Thapa was appointed as the new head coach. This also saw a new influx of talents. The season started brightly as they won both Ncell Cup and Safal Cup. They also won the Martyr's Memorial League by beating Tribhuvan Army Club(TAC).

Season 2070 B.S. (2013–14)[edit]

The 2013–14 Martyr's Memorial A-Division League (known as the Martyrs' Memorial Red Bull 'A' Division League Football Tournament 2013–14 for sponsorship reasons)(Nepali: 2013–14 शहीद स्मारक ए-डिभिजन लिग) was the 41st edition of Martyr's Memorial A-Division League. The league started on 30 December 2013 and finished on 1 March 2014 in the Dasarath Rangasala Stadium. Thirteen teams competed with each other in single round-robin format with the top 6 qualifying for the Super Six stage. Three Star Club were the defending champions. Manang Marshyangdi Club won the title for the record 7th time.

In October 2014, they participated in Sikkim Governor's Gold Cup and reached to the final with a 3–1 win over Sikkim FA.[5][6] but lost to ONGC FC in the title winning match through penalty shoot-out.[7][8]

Season 2071–72 B.S. (2015)[edit]

The 2015 Nepal National League also known as the Redbull National League for sponsorship reasons was the 2nd edition of Nepal National League. There were 9 teams that will featured in the league. Three Star Club became Champion beating Manang Marsyangdi Club in the last game of the league. The Champion received 10 million rupees. The League was heavily affected by the April 2015 Nepal earthquake, with play being suspended from late April and due to resume in September.[citation needed]
