History
editThe APF Club was established on 24 October 2001, following the tradition of forming a sports club within an official group, as the police and army had already done. Initially, the club was named Gyanendra APF Club, in tribute to the King at the time.
When the government decided to remove all references to royalty from the names of government clubs, the team changed their name to APF Club.
