Choden FC
Bhutanese football club
Choden Football Club was a football club from Bhutan, based at Changlimithang, consisting of players from the U-19 Bhutan national team, who played in the Bhutan A-Division, then the top level of football in Bhutan, but since replaced by a full national league. They finished fifth in the 2011 season, the last season where the A-Division was the top flight. Although they were not formally relegated at the end of the 2011 season, they do not appear to have taken part either in the 2012 A-Division, nor consequently the 2012–13 Bhutan National League.
History
The first recorded mention of Choden competing in Bhutanese football is in 2005 when they won the final of the B-Division beating Rookies F.C. 3–0. The bottom two teams in the A-Division, Rigzung Club and Dzongree, for that season played off against Choden and Rookies to determine which two would play top-flight football the following season. No results are known, but from the available data from 2006, it appears that Choden were promoted from this, whilst Dzongree were relegated.
Choden's first appearance in the A-Division was in 2006, although their final position is not known as only a few results are known together with a very fragmentary final table. Choden's only known result for that season was a 1–0 victory against Druk Pol.
They were not relegated however, as they competed in the following season, where they finished sixth out of eight teams narrowly avoiding relegation. Again, details for this season are patchy at best.
