The first recorded mention of Bhutan Clearing competing at any level of football in Bhutan is in 2012, when they competed in the B-Division, the third tier of football in Bhutan, when RSSSF reported a team known as Bhutan Clearance competing, though their final position is not recorded.[2] The B-Division is the division below the A-Division, the competition which provides the Thimphu-based qualifiers for the National League. Despite this being a traditionally Thimphu-centred competition, Bhutan Clearing competed and were the only team from outside Thimphu to do so.[3] Their final position is not known, although they can have finished no higher than third, as the final play-off match was contested by BMW FC and Motithang.[3] The only known results for the club from this season are a 4–2 victory over Rigzung and a 3–0 defeat of the Bhutan national under sixteen team.[3]
In 2014, they entered the National League for the first time, one of two teams in addition to Ugyen Academy from outside Thimphu who did.[4] Their first appearance in the National League was a disappointing one, as they finished last in the league, their only point coming from a 2–2 draw with Druk Star.[4] Additionally, outside of this draw, they only scored two more goals, one each against Druk Pol and Druk United and also suffered a 0–16 defeat to Thimphu City.[4] In 2017 they dissolved due to financial reasons.
