Formation and journey

edit

During the finals of the Meghalaya Invitation Cup in 1982, two football enthusiasts Shri Kitdor Syiem and Shri P. D. Sawyan saddened by the continuous failure of the Shillong teams to make it to the final stages of the tournament formed a football club to reverse the trend.[32][33]Together with a group of friends and supporters, they commissioned a semi-professional club in 1983, aptly calledLajong Football Club(lit.'Our own' or 'Of the people').[34][35][36]The club was also known as theLajong Sports Social and Cultural Club.[37][38]

In 1983, the club played in the 3rd Division of the Shillong Sports Association League and was the champion, being promoted to the 2nd Division.[39]Similarly in 1984 it was promoted to the First Division.[39]Things started to change rapidly after the title clash for the Shillong Championship was inevitably poised against the Blue Max FC, another professionally organized club which later changed itself toLangsning SCof today.[40]It was only in 1989 that Lajong FC finally annexed the championship for the first time.[39]In 1990, Lajong FC became the Meghalaya Invitation Cup champion, beating Nabajyoti FC ofGuwahatiin the final, seven years after its maiden entry.[39]

In 2009, Lajong FC joined theI-League 2nd Division,which then was the second highest national league in India. After one season in the second division, Lajong was promoted to the I-League.[41][42][43]Shillong Lajong gained promotion for the2009–10season, and had appointed formerSalgaocarandEast BengalcoachStanley Rozariofor their first season in then India's top flight.[44]They played their first match in I-League in 2009 and lost toJCT FC1–5.
