Womens National League

Suk Maya Ghalley, known to most as Suku, grew up in Bhur Geog. Although her current residence is registered under Samtenling, she still proudly considers the place by its original name, Bhurzaland. As the youngest in her family, Suku jokes that this makes her the “youngest rich girl,” with three sisters and three brothers. Her football journey began at the age of six, right when she started primary school. At that time, her school only offered football and volleyball, and students often played in the paddy fields or on the Bhur School ground. This limited choice is what first ignited her interest in sports. While she started playing both volleyball and football, it was football that immediately captured her heart. It was the first game she truly connected with, and from the moment she saw it, she knew she had to play. Those early days of training in open spaces, alongside village elders, friends, and her own siblings, became the foundation of Suku’s footballing journey. Those simple community games were where her skills and confidence began to take shape. Today, Suku plays as a full back, but also plays as an attacker and winger, which she chose because of her love for speed and movement. She thrives when running down the flank, carrying the ball at full pace, and creating goal-scoring chances for her team. Her dedication and hard work have earned her 22 international caps for Bhutan. Domestically, she has secured six national titles and represented several clubs, including the BFF Academy, Mandala FC, Sunrise FC, and, most recently, RTC WFC.Catch Suku, one of the talents on the field and off the field, as she cooks her favourite in the first-ever off-season series on our YouTube Channel.
