History

The Bhutan Football Federation was founded in 1983 as part of the Bhutan Olympic Committee. It has been a member of FIFA since 2000 and the Asian Football Confederation since 1993.

The Bhutan national football team was considered "the worst football team" up until 2015 when it won a World Cup qualifying game against Sri Lanka.[1]

In 2016, the BFF introduced Club Licensing Regulation to bring basic standards to the football economy of the country.[2]

In July 2017, the BFF Disciplinary Committee suspended

Druk Pol F.C. for two years after a player disobeyed a referee during a match.[3]
