History

Twentieth century

Druk Pol took part in the first recorded season of league football in Bhutan in 1986, playing under the name Royal Bhutan Police. The league was played on a single round-robin basis and Druk Pol finished fourth with four wins and two draws from their nine games.

There are no recorded results for any form of competition in Bhutan between 1987 and 1995, so it is not known whether Druk Pol competed at all during that period. However, records indicate that they won the national championship in 1996, though no results exist to provide any further detail, and their championship win should not be confused with the victory by Bhutan Telecom Company IECH FC, who won the 8th Thimphu Championship in the same year.
