After Mizoram became a Union Territory, it parted ways with the Assam Police and started recruitment of its own police force since the year 1973. On 21.7.1974, Pu KC Thanga (Assam Police Service) was posted as the Commandant of 1st Bn.MAP, the sole Police Battalion in Mizoram at the time. Being an avid sports enthusiast, he took immediate steps to set up the Mizoram Police Football Team with a dream to participate in the prestigious BN Mullick Memorial All India Police Football Championship to be held in Imphal in December 1974. He sought out Pu H. Lalchhuanliana, a player from Mizoram, whom he had known back while he was serving in Golaghat, Assam in 1972. He then posted Pu H. Lalchhuanliana, who had just completed Basic Training of Sub-Inspector of police on attachment as Reserve Officer at 1st Bn MAP, and assigned him the task of setting up and looking after Mizoram Police Football Team.
That same year, Pu KC Thanga recruited 4 (four) football players from Churachandpur, Manipur, viz. Lalengmawia, Lalthlamuana, Zohminga Zote and Vanlalthanga for the MRP football team. Other players in Mizoram police who could play football for the team were scouted and identified and the team began to hold regular practices.
Officially it could be put on record that the Mizoram Police Football team was set up in September of 1974. In December 1974, the Team could participate in the BN Mullick All India Police Football Championship, Imphal, Manipur for the very first time. From then onwards to this very date, Mizoram Police Football Team has became one of the strongest football team and widely considered to be one among the best in Mizoram. They played in and became Champions of many Major Tournaments both within and outside the State. A number of Police Players have received individual prizes such as Best Player and Top Scorer. In recognition of their remarkable contributions to Mizoram Football, two galleries at the AR Lammual were named after Pu K.Kawla and Pu Zohminga Zote of the Police football team, viz. K.Kawla Stand and Zohminga Zote Stand. Their great sportsmanship and skill would forever be commemorated in this manner.
