TRAU Football Club (known fully as Tiddim Road Athletic Union Football Club)[1][2][3] is an Indian professional football club based in Imphal, Manipur. The club competed in the I-League, the second tier of Indian football league system.[4][5] Nicknamed "The Red Pythons",[6] the club was founded in 1954.

TRAU made its I-League 2nd Division debut in 2017–18 season.[7] They were promoted to the I-League in 2019, after winning 2nd Division.[8][9] The club also participates in the Manipur State League.[10][11][12]

History

Tiddim Road Athletic Union, which was instituted on 2 October 1954[13] in Kwakeithel, Imphal,[14][15] has been a pioneering organisation in the field of sports activities. They have lifted the title of CC Meet, state league of Manipur[16] six times and finished runners up nine times.[17][18] TRAU was runners up in 1998 Bordoloi Trophy, losing 10–1 to Narbakhar FC, club from Uzbekistan in the final.[19][20] They began their journey of I-League 2nd Division in 2018,[21][22][23] and on 8 May, they qualified for the final round in I-League Qualifiers in their debut season.[24]

In 2018–19 season, they won the I-League 2nd division, their first ever professional league trophy, and gained the promotion to the I-League.[25][26][27] On 25 August 2019, TRAU announced Aciesta Sports Alliance Private Limited as its title sponsor.[28] The deal with Aciesta will help the Manipur-based team finance its first-team and development activities and further expand its presence in the top tier of Indian football.[28] In September 2019, Cypriot manager Dimitris Dimitriou joined the club as head coach.[29] Prior to the announcement, TRAU FC signed an agreement with SportiFan Ventures Limited, a sports business management firm based in the United Kingdom, which played a pivotal role in the negotiation process for the aforementioned deal.[30] Later on the club announced Romi Factory as their new kit partner. On 23 October 2019, they roped in Douglas Silva as new manager,[31][32] and on 1 December, they faced Chennai City. Shortly, his tenure ended as they lost the first three matches as the Brazilian was not at all happy with the supervision of the team.[33][34]

In the 2020–21 I-League season, which was their second I-League season, TRAU finished at the 3rd position with 26 points. Bidyashagar Singh with 12 goals in 15 matches emerged as the top scorer and became the fourth Indian player to win the Golden boot.[35][36][37] In that season, the club took part in Shirui Lily Cup.[38] They achieved ninth place in 2021–22 I-League.[39] In 2022–23 I-League, the club finished on fourth position. In April 2023, TRAU failed to qualify for 2023 Indian Super Cup.[40]

In April 2024, TRAU along with NEROCA, refused to travel to Mizoram to face Aizawl in their away matches – as a result the games were cancelled by the AIFF; Both the teams from Manipur were relegated to I-League 2.[41][42][43]
