History
Being a successful club in the 1980s, Sankata won the title of the national championship in 1980, 1983 and 1985. Due to poor performance just winning five games out of 22 in A-Division league 2010 the club was relegated to Martyr's Memorial B-Division League after 38 years.[] However, the team won the 2011 Martyr's Memorial B-Division League and since is playing in Nepal's highest league. In 2019, the team became runners-up in the 2018–19 league, making it the best season of the club since the 1980s, in what The Kathmandu Post called a "stunning" performance.
