In 1964, the residents of Naoremthong, a locality on the outskirts of Imphal decided that they needed a club to give exposure to the budding footballers of the mohalla. The Kangchup Road Young Physical and Sports Association was born and along with it, the hopes and dreams of Naoremthong.[1] Kryphsa is crowd–funded community club. Funds are collected from the 3,500 households in the Naoremthong area are used as the base for equipment and gear while tambola games – which are held twice a year and are very popular in the Imphal area, also contribute a sizeable amount to the club.[1]
