## History

### Saigon Port era

On 1 November 1975, the **Saigon Port Workers Football Club** was officially established, inherited many players and staffs from the previous **Saigon Harbour Football Club** that competed in the [South Vietnam Football Championship](/source/South_Vietnam_Football_Championship).[4] The team quickly became well known in [Southern Vietnam](/source/Southern_Vietnam), together with [Hải Quan](/source/Customs_F.C.) - their local rivals.[5]

In 1980, Saigon Port was one of 10 clubs based in Southern Vietnam to participate in the [1980 Vietnamese National A1 League](/source/1980_V-League) **-** the first football championship in Vietnam.[6] In 1983, former defender [Phạm Huỳnh Tam Lang](/source/Ph%E1%BA%A1m_Hu%E1%BB%B3nh_Tam_Lang) returned from [Germany](/source/Germany) and was appointed as a head coach for the club.[7] In 1984, CSG began to focus on recruiting young players from their youth academy, including [Đặng Trần Chỉnh](/source/%C4%90%E1%BA%B7ng_Tr%E1%BA%A7n_Ch%E1%BB%89nh), [Hà Vương Ngầu Nại](/source/H%C3%A0_V%C6%B0%C6%A1ng_Ng%E1%BA%A7u_N%E1%BA%A1i), Nguyễn Hoàng Châu, Phạm Văn Tám, ... This squad was later regarded as the club's "Golden Generation".[5] Among them, midfielder [Hà Vương Ngầu Nại](/source/H%C3%A0_V%C6%B0%C6%A1ng_Ng%E1%BA%A7u_N%E1%BA%A1i) received recognition by becoming the top scorer of the [1989 V-League](/source/1989_V-League), scoring a total of 10 goals.[8] However, until the end of 1990, the team had not won any more titles besides the [1986 V-League](/source/1986_V-League).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

From 1990 to 2001, many players of the team were called up to the [Vietnam national team](/source/Vietnam_national_football_team), including Nguyễn Hồng Phẩm, [Hà Vương Ngầu Nại](/source/H%C3%A0_V%C6%B0%C6%A1ng_Ng%E1%BA%A7u_N%E1%BA%A1i), [Lư Đình Tuấn](/source/L%C6%B0_%C4%90%C3%ACnh_Tu%E1%BA%A5n), [Hồ Văn Lợi](/source/H%E1%BB%93_V%C4%83n_L%E1%BB%A3i), [Huỳnh Hồng Sơn](/source/Hu%E1%BB%B3nh_H%E1%BB%93ng_S%C6%A1n). In 2001, under the new name **Saigon Port Football Club,** they won another league title in the 2001–02 season.[9] However, they were relegated to the [First Division](/source/V.League_2) the following season, returning to the V-League again in 2005.[10]

### Ho Chi Minh City era

The Saigon Port Corporation's officials claimed at the end of 2008 that they no longer had enough money to support the club. At that time, they only had one primary sponsor, the Vietnam Steel Company, the club's leadership decided to alter the team's name in order to operate on a professional model. The name Ho Chi Minh City Football Club was adopted with the permission of the club's management unit, the Ho Chi Minh City Football Company Ltd, and the Ho Chi Minh City Football Federation, with a 15 billion [Vietnam Dong](/source/Vietnamese_%C4%91%E1%BB%93ng) investment for the team.

Because of their devotion to the heritage connected with the name Saigon Port, the club's supporters have expressed disappointment and resistance to the decision to alter the name. Yet, the club's objective was to become a major football club in Ho Chi Minh City, as well as to promote the acquisition of government and commercial aid. The club officially changed its name to **Ho Chi Minh City Football Club** on 22 January 2009, with the Vietnam Steel Corporation serving as the team's primary sponsor.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

The supporters were vehemently opposed to the name change. The whole Fans Association Executive Committee resigned, and the Saigon Port Football Supporters Association dissolved, generating problems for the team in its first season under the new name. They were relegated to [Vietnamese Football League Second Division](/source/V.League_2) after finishing at the 13th place in the [2009 season](/source/2009_V-League). In 2012, the club finished last in the [Vietnamese First League](/source/2012_Vietnamese_National_Football_First_League). After only one season at the [Vietnamese Second League](/source/Vietnamese_National_Football_Second_League), Ho Chi Minh returned to the [First League](/source/V.League_2) in 2015. With the ambition to return to top fight, Ho Chi Minh City received big investments and successfully gained a promotion to the [V.League 1](/source/V.League_1) after winning the [2016 V.League 2](/source/2016_V.League_2).[11]

Following returning to the V.League 1 in 2017, the team focused more on drawing spectators to the stadium by listening to supporters' criticism and renovating the stadium, stands, and so on. As a consequence, the club's reputation among supporters progressively improved. After that, the Ho Chi Minh City Football Club Fans Association was formed. The squad finished 12th in the league standings in [2017](/source/2017_V.League_1).

In the [2019 season](/source/2019_V.League_1), [Jung Hae-seong](/source/Jung_Hae-seong) was named as Hồ Chí Minh City's new head coach. He was the [VIetnam national team](/source/Vietnam_national_football_team)'s assistant coach. Under his management, Hồ Chí Minh City was in the title race, being the league's top 2 throughout the season. The club finished first after the first part of the season, but then [Hà Nội](/source/Hanoi_FC).[12] Therefore, Hồ Chí Minh City finished as runners-up, their best result since their rebranding in 2012. The team also qualified to the [2020 AFC Champions League preliminary round](/source/2020_AFC_Champions_League).[13]

In the following the season, Hồ Chí Minh City had spent 20 billion ₫ on the transfer market, signing several reputated [V.League 1](/source/V.League_1) players such as [Nguyễn Công Phượng](/source/Nguy%E1%BB%85n_C%C3%B4ng_Ph%C6%B0%E1%BB%A3ng) and [Võ Huy Toàn](/source/V%C3%B5_Huy_To%C3%A0n), as well as Costa Rican forwards [Ariel Rodríguez](/source/Ariel_Rodr%C3%ADguez_(footballer%2C_born_1989)) and [José Guillermo Ortiz](/source/Jos%C3%A9_Guillermo_Ortiz). The club began the season with a defeat against [Hà Nội](/source/Hanoi_FC) in the [Vietnamese Super Cup](/source/Vietnamese_Super_Cup), follow by the defeat in the AFC Champions League preliminary round which resulted in their entry to the [2020 AFC Cup group stage](/source/2020_AFC_Cup_group_stage). There, the team topped their group with two wins and one defeat before the competition was cancelled due to logistic problems with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. in the [2020 V.League 1](/source/2020_V.League_1), the club's form was inconsistent and the foreign players performed poorly. The club finished 5th in the league.[14]

Before the start of the 2021 season, the club's management made several changes to the team's personnel with the goal of winning the [2021 V.League 1](/source/2021_V.League_1). [Alexandré Pölking](/source/Alexandr%C3%A9_P%C3%B6lking), the former coach of [Bangkok United](/source/Bangkok_United_F.C.), was appointed as the team's new head coach with a 1-year contract.[15][16][17] In December 2020, Ho Chi Minh City then announced the signing of [Vietnamese-American](/source/Vietnamese_Americans) midfielder [Lee Nguyen](/source/Lee_Nguyen), who played for [USA national team](/source/United_States_men's_national_soccer_team).[18][19][20] However, the team performed poorly, due to players' difficulties to adapt to the coach's tactics. The club eventually finished at 11th place when the season was cancelled after the 14th matchday, due to the impact of Covid -19 in Vietnam.[21][22]

### Cong An Ho Chi Minh City era

On 14 July 2025, the club was officially rebranded to **Cong An Ho Chi Minh City FC**, following the club's ownership being transferred to the Ho Chi Minh City Public Security Department.[23][24] This marked the return of the name Cong An Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnamese football system since 2002 when the [1979 established team](/source/Cong_An_Ho_Chi_Minh_City_FC_(1979)) had dissolved.[25]
