History

The Seng Samla Mawlai Mawdatbaki, a non-profitable youth social welfare organization separated the Ryntih Sports Club in 1990, with the motive to encourage and support less fortunate players with the opportunity to compete at a distinguished level. The objective was to emphasize on the promotion of sporting activities.

In June 2020 they submitted bid documents for the direct entry in I-League, but could not enter.[3][4][5]
