Saigon Football Club 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.,[1] 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.[2]

History
