The 29th match of the BoB Bhutan Premier League 2025 promises to be a special one as Ugyen Academy FC and Tsirang FC face off for the very first time in the league’s history. The match will take place at the Ugyen Academy Artificial Turf, marking their official top-tier debut clash, although fans may recall their fiery encounter in the Pepsi BPL Qualifiers last season, where Tsirang FC edged out UAFC.
Ahead of the match, Coach Kinley revealed in the pre-match press conference that a tactical shift was necessary. Pravin Uron gets his first start of the season for UAFC, while Lhawang Phuntsho is set to make his debut for Tsirang FC, signalling a fresh approach from both camps.
Adding to the narrative, the two head coaches share a deep-rooted history, dating back to their high school days in the 1990s. Having earned national team caps together for over a decade and served side-by-side within the Bhutan Football Federation, today’s match is more than just a battle for three points—it’s a reunion with competitive fire.
Both teams are winless in their last five matches and sit at the bottom of the table, with Tsirang FC slightly ahead on two points.
The stakes are high. The hunger is real.
Who will finally break the drought and claim their first win of the season?
