Sankata Boys Sports Club, commonly known as Sankata Fotball Club, is a Nepalese professional football club based in Kathmandu, that competes in the Martyr's Memorial A-Division League. Named after Sankata Temple at Te Bahal, Kathmandu, the club has won the national championship three times, most recently in 1985.

History

Sankata was a successful club in the 1980s, winning the national championship in 1980, 1983 and 1985. After a string of poor performances and winning just five games out of 22 in A-Division League 2010, the club was relegated to Martyr's Memorial B-Division League after 38 years. However, the team won the 2011 Martyr's Memorial B-Division League and has since been playing in Nepal's highest league. In 2019, the team was runners-up in the 2018–19 league, making it the best season of the club since the 1980s, in what The Kathmandu Post called a "stunning" performance.
