[2] Named after Sankata Temple at Te Bahal, Kathmandu, the club has won the national championship three times, most recently in 1985.

In 2019, the team was runners-up in the 2018–19 league, making it the best season of the club since the 1980s,[5] in what The Kathmandu Post called a "stunning" performance.
