The club is also a frequent participant of the Sikkim Gold Cup,[9][10] a premier club tournament in the state.[11]

History

Formation and journey

Gangtok Himalayan FC (originally known as Sikkim Himalayan SC)[12][13][14] was founded in 2012 in Gangtok,[15] the capital city of the Indian state Sikkim, and affiliated with Sikkim Football Association (SFA).[16][17][18] Since then, they have been participating in various domestic and amateur tournaments regionally.[19] The club was founded by Tenzing Lamtha.[20] In October 2014, Gangtok Himalayan participated in Sikkim Governor's Gold Cup and reached to the semi-finals, but their journey ended with a 2–1 defeat to ONGC FC.[21][22][23] In September 2015, former India international Arjunan Shanta Kumar was appointed as manager of the club.[24]

In January 2016, they were officially certified by the All India Football Federation to participate in the I-League 2nd Division,[25] the second tier of football in India, after finishing 2nd in the Sikkim Premier Division League. This move began a new chapter for Gangtok-based side as they became one of first professional football clubs from the North East India.[26] 2016 was the most successful season for Gangtok Himalayan, in which they participated in the I-League 2nd Division, Durand Cup,[27][28] Sikkim Gold Cup and Sikkim Premier Division League. After finishing 2nd in the group A of the 2015–16 I-League 2nd Division,[29] Gangtok Himalayan qualified for the 2015–16 I-League 2nd Division final round. There they finished as 5th and failed to qualify for the I-League.[30]

In 2016 Durand Cup, the Himalayans finished 5th, behind Indian Navy in the group A with 6 points.[31][32] In 2019, they reached to the final of 39th edition of the Sikkim Governor's Gold Cup final defeating Royal FC Siliguri 3–1,[33][34] but lost the title winning match to Mohammedan Sporting by 2–1 margin.[35][36] In that year, Gangtok Himalayan lifted Independence Day Football Tournament trophy defeating Sikkim Aacraman FC via penalty shoot-out.

I-League fate

The All India Football Federation were all set to invite bids for vacant spots in the I-League and Gangtok-based Sikkim Himalayan was one of the front-runners to join, but it was not materialized.[37]

2020–present

In 2020, Gangtok Himalayan went to Nepal for participating in the 18th Aaha! Rara Gold Cup, but their journey ended after a 3–0 defeat to Three Star Club in quarter-finals.[38][39]

Rivalry

Gangtok Himalayan has a rivalry with their fellow Sikkim based club United Sikkim FC,[40] whom they usually face in regional tournaments including Sikkim Premier Division League.[41][42] The rivalry is commonly referred to as "Sikkim Derby". Both the clubs mostly use Paljor Stadium as their home ground. One of their most memorable matches was on 9 November 2019 during Sikkim Governor's Gold Cup, and Gangtok Himalayan won by 3–1.[43]
