Ranipokhari Corner Team is a Nepalese football club from Kathmandu. It is the second-most successful team in the history of the Martyr's Memorial A-Division League, having won the title six times.[3] In 2013–14, facing serious financial problems,[4] the team was relegated from the Nepalese top division, the Nepal A- Division League.[5][2]
