Wikipedia - Saigon FC

Saigon Football Club (Vietnamese: Câu lạc bộ Bóng đá Sài Gòn) was a Vietnamese professional association football club administered by Saigon Football Development Joint Stock Company. Following the relegation from 2022 season and problems related to the club's ownership, it was proposed that team would be dissolved. A last minute attempt was made to give the license over to Lam Dong FC in 2023 season., however, this deal fell though.

The club's formation was set as a result of the B team of Hanoi FC relocating to Ho Chi Minh City in the south of Vietnam and renaming in 2016 to Saigon FC.

History

Formerly, the team was the youth team of Thể Công, which was established in 2008. After Thể Công dissolved in 2009, the youth team was transferred to Viettel and renamed Viettel Football Club. In 2010, the team was transferred to Thanh Hóa province and renamed Thanh Hóa Football Club. However, the youth team was still kept and continued to compete under the name Viettel Football Center.

At the end of the 2012 season, T&T Sports Joint Stock Company acquired the team and renamed it Hanoi Football Club. On March 31, 2016, Hanoi Football Club changed its name to Saigon Football Club. On April 4, 2016, the VFF approved Saigon Football Club to use the new name and register Thong Nhat Stadium as its home ground for the 2016 V.League 1.
