About Paro
Paro FC are the dominant force in Bhutanese football, a club from the city of Paro that has won the Bhutan Premier League multiple times since 2019 and put the Kingdom of the Thunder Dragon on the global football map. The club made international headlines in August 2024 when Japanese legend Keisuke Honda signed a one-match contract to play in AFC Challenge League qualification, bringing unprecedented global attention to one of the world's most remote and romantic football scenes.
Based in Paro, Bhutan, Paro FC compete in the Bhutan Premier League and have won the title in 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, establishing themselves as the most successful club in Bhutanese football history. Red and black are the club's home colours, with yellow and black used for the away kit.
Red and black define the look of Paro FC at home, while the yellow and black away strip adds a striking contrast. Their kits are produced in small quantities befitting a club from one of the world's smallest football nations, making them genuinely rare collector's items. The shirts worn during Keisuke Honda's celebrated one-match appearance in 2024 are among the most unusual and sought-after pieces in global football shirt culture, connecting the Bhutanese highlands to one of Asia's greatest ever players.
