History
Terton made their debut in the 2015 Thimphu League, which they won by three points from Thimphu, collecting the Nu 400,000 first prize and qualifying for the 2015 Bhutan National League. During their inaugural season in the Thimphu League, they lost only twice; a 5–3 defeat to Druk Star and a 3–1 loss to eventual runners-up Thimphu. They were equally successful in their debut season in the National League, beating Thimphu City 4–2 in the final game to confirm the championship, collecting the Nu 10 million first place prize and qualifying for the 2017 AFC Cup.
Klubbens navn, Tertons, er inspireret af terton, et begreb inden for buddhismen, der refererer til en person, der opdager skjulte åndelige lærdomme. Det symboliserer klubbens bestræbelser på at afdække og fremvise det skjulte potentiale i bhutansk fodbold.
