'''Thimphu Football Club''' is a Bhutanese football club based in Thimphu that plays in the Bhutan Premier League.

==History== In 2015, Thimphu became the first Bhutanese club to hire a foreign coach, Fabio Lopez. However, the Italian coach resigned from the club without coaching a single match, due to difficulties adapting to the lifestyle changes from his native country. The two foreign players signed under coach Lopez remained in the squad for the 2015 season.<ref>{{cite web |title=Italian coach says ciao |url=http://www.kuenselonline.com/italian-coach-says-ciao/#.VT2WaNKUdA0 |website=KuenselOnline |access-date=24 July 2019 |date=9 April 2015 |archive-date=5 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190905142404/http://www.kuenselonline.com/italian-coach-says-ciao/#.VT2WaNKUdA0 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
