KRYPHSA Football Club is an Indian women's football club based in Imphal, Manipur, that competed in the Indian Women's League.
History In 1964, residents of Naoremthong, a locality on the outskirts of Imphal, decided that they needed a club to give exposure for local football talents. Kangchup Road Young Physical and Sports Association was born and along with it, the hopes and dreams of Naoremthong. KRYPHSA is crowd–funded community club. Funds collected from the 3,500 households in the Naoremthong area are used as base for club income, 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.
