Phurba Tenzin: The Engine Behind Transport United FC’s Resurgence
Phurba Tenzin: The Engine Behind Transport United FC’s Resurgence Our boys have been on fire this season, and a lot of the credit goes to Phurba Tenzin, who has bagged a stunning 3 world-class goals in just 3 games! But how did Phurba end up gracing the pitch for Transport United? Let’s take a trip down memory lane. A Dreaded Time for Transport United Early 2021 was a dark period for our club. The Executive team disbanded due to internal conflicts and a string of unsuccessful seasons. Many players, including more than half our squad, opted to join a newly formed club built by the executive members that left us then. Ugyen Academy FC Steps In Just when things seemed bleak, Ugyen Academy FC, whose 2020 squad had graduated, offered a ray of hope. Recognizing their potential, we immediately initiated talks to sign these players and revive Transport United FC. The management at Ugyen Academy, with whom we shared a long-standing relationship, warmly welcomed our proposal. The Signing Spree and the Rise of a Star Thanks to the Principal of Ugyen Academy, Dasho Norbu Gyeltshen, we successfully signed a total of 9 players. Among them were some notable names: Thinley Dorji (Ex TUFC Captain & currently with Samtse), Dilip Mongar and Kinley Gyeltshen (currently playing for RTC), Kinga Wangchuk (Currently Paro FC), and of course, Phurba Tenzin. Phurba, affectionately called “Baby” by his teammates, seamlessly fit into the No. 10 jersey. He impressed everyone with his skills in training and quickly became a fan favorite. His debut goal came against his former club, Ugyen Academy FC, on the opening day of the 2021 BoB Bhutan Premier League. He made an immediate impact, scoring 5 goals and providing around 12 assists in his first season. Baby: A Key Player in Transport United’s Success Baby played a pivotal role in securing our first major trophy in 3 years – the First Edition of the BFF President’s Cup held in Mongar in early 2022. He scored against Sherubtse College to get us into the semifinals and converted the winning penalty kick in the finals against Thimphu City, clinching the championship for us. The Loan Spell at RTCFC Due to the uncertainties surrounding the BoB Bhutan Premier League 2022 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Baby requested a loan move to RTCFC. The location and their closed-door training sessions during the pandemic made RTCFC an ideal choice for him to continue studying and training. Transport United FC graciously agreed to the loan for the 2022 season. While playing for RTCFC, Phurba had a fantastic season, helping them achieve a commendable 4th place finish, just one spot above us. Back Home and Shining Brighter Than Ever The 2023 season saw Baby return to Transport United FC. Our first match of the season, once again, was against UAFC. And guess what? Baby scored a brilliant double in his comeback game! Despite battling knee issues throughout the season, his dedication and love for the club remained unwavering. He went on to score an impressive 15 goals, including a remarkable hat-trick. We finished a strong third that year. The Magic Continues in 2024 The 2024 BoB Bhutan Premier League is just underway, and Baby has already established himself as the magic element in our squad. His 3 spectacular goals in the first 3 games speak volumes about his talent. The most recent one against RTCFC was a last-minute wonder strike that salvaged a crucial point for the team when we were trailing 4-3. With 15 more matches to go, we can’t wait to witness more magic from our dependable “Baby”! BABY- the Goal Machine.

Goal Glut at Changlimithang
Goal Glut at Changlimithang Transport United and RTC FC Battle to a Breathtaking 4-4 Draw In one of the most electrifying matches of the season, fans at Changlimithang Stadium witnessed an intense showdown between Transport United FC and RTC FC. The game was a goal fest, marked by dramatic swings and a last-minute save that left supporters on the edge of their seats. From the whistle, TUFC took the initiative, netting the first goal just 3 minutes into the match. However, the visitors, RTC FC, quickly changed the narrative with two goals by the 25th minute, showcasing their resilience and ability to counterattack effectively. Not to be outdone, TUFC equalized at the 30-minute mark, but the joy was short-lived as RTC snatched the lead again just 3 minutes later, ending the first half with a score of 3-2 in favor of the visitors. The quality of goals may not have been the highlight, as many came from what could only be described as defensive lapses – misplaced passes, goalkeeper errors, and poor tactical discipline – uncharacteristic at this level of play. As the second half unfolded, both teams added another goal to their tally, with RTC seemingly in control and poised to take the win. But as the match neared its conclusion, the atmosphere thickened with tension. It was Transport United’s Phurba Tenzin, affectionately known as “Baby,” who emerged as the hero, scoring a critical equalizer in the dying moments of the game, securing a 4-4 draw. Coach Pema of Transport United expressed mixed feelings about the match. While the dramatic finish was commendable, he noted that the performance overall did not meet expectations. Acknowledging the integration of new players and tactical missteps, he committed to further hardening the team’s playstyle and strategies. Despite the draw, both teams demonstrated fierce competitiveness and an unyielding spirit. The packed stadium and the roaring fans were a testament to the thrilling football spectacle they witnessed. This match will surely be remembered for its highs and lows, and as always, the support from the fans was nothing short of phenomenal. Final Score: Transport United FC 4 – 4 RTC FC Thank you to all the supporters for filling the stands with energy and passion. Your support continues to be the lifeblood of our club.
Showdown at Changlimithang: Transport United vs RTC FC
Showdown at Changlimithang: Transport United vs RTC FC As the sun sets over the historic Changlimithang Stadium tomorrow, the stage is set for a gripping clash between Transport United FC and RTC FC—a match teeming with promise and passion. This isn’t just any football match; it’s a battle of prowess, strategy, and heritage, carrying weight not only in standings but in the hearts of the fans and the history of Bhutanese football. Transport United FC has been on a formidable streak this season, showcasing their best with a tactically superior team formation and the guidance of their new coach, Pema. Unbeaten in their last two matches, they delivered a scintillating performance against Paro FC last week at Woochu Sport Arena, a game where their opponents found themselves overwhelmed by Transport United’s cohesive play and sharp strategies. The team’s chemistry and the new coach’s approach have revitalized their gameplay, making them a tough squad to beat. On the other hand, RTC FC has had a rocky start to the season, managing only a draw and a loss in their last two games. Despite this, the youthful zest of this team, comprised largely of BFF Academy graduates and former Transport United players, adds a layer of intrigue to the match. These young players, familiar yet now on opposing sides, bring an unpredictable dynamism that could surprise the seasoned lineup of Transport United. Reflecting on the BOB Premier League 2023, the record shows a split between the teams; Transport United FC suffered a loss at Changlimithang, conceding two goals to RTC FC, but took their revenge in the away match at the RTC ground with a 2:1 victory. This history sets a dramatic backdrop for tomorrow’s encounter, pitting last season’s experiences against the current form and spirit of both teams. This season, RTC FC’s strategy under Coach Ugyen has been relatively consistent with fewer changes in player formation. Contrastingly, Coach Pema of Transport United FC is crafting a reputation for being unpredictably brilliant, frequently shifting strategies and formations to keep opponents guessing and fans cheering. In a conversation with Coach Pema, his confidence was palpable. “Each game is a step forward, and at home, we’re at our strongest. Though past results at Changlimithang weren’t always in our favor, this team—with its new dynamics and hungry spirit—is different,” he asserted. This new approach from Pema has injected a fresh vigor into the team, promising a spectacle of football that fans are eager to witness. Tomorrow, Changlimithang will not just host a football match; it will host a festival of football, with the crowd vividly split into vibrant orange and the opposing team colors. The stadium will resonate with the cheers and chants of loyal fans supporting their teams, creating an electrifying atmosphere that is the hallmark of Bhutanese football.

Be there to witness football at its finest, where every pass, tackle, and goal tells the story of a nation’s love for the beautiful game.
