Two blades crossed, one ball in the air, five points reaching up. That's the badge. The courage of the khukuri, the hunger of a team still climbing, every single matchday.
Founded in 2010 in the lanes of 18 West, Lamavilla, Gorkha Rising Star began the way most clubs worth following do: a borrowed pitch, one ball between a dozen players, and a name that asked more of everyone wearing it.
The Gorkha name carries weight before a ball is ever kicked. It belongs to the regiments who built a reputation for nerve under pressure that still travels well beyond the hills they came from. This club doesn't claim that history. It just tries to earn a small place beside it, one season at a time.
That's the whole idea behind the crest: a football for the game we play, two crossed khukuris for the discipline we borrow, and a rising star for the only direction the club is interested in.
A Gorkha soldier's oldest rule is simple: courage outranks comfort, every time, no exceptions. We've just pointed that rule at a football pitch instead of a battlefield.
Tap a point on the crest: the ball, the blades, the star, or the banner, and it'll tell you what it's doing there.
Football is the language everything else here is written in. Every drill, every wet Saturday, every scoreline: this is where the club's heart actually beats.
