'''Ninh Bình Football Club''' ({{langx|vi|Câu lạc bộ bóng đá Ninh Bình}}), formerly known as '''Phù Đổng''' and '''Phù Đổng Ninh Bình''', is a Vietnamese professional football club based in [[Ninh Bình province|Ninh Bình]], [[Vietnam]]. The club currently competes at the [[V.League 1]], the top tier of Vietnamese football after promotion from the [[2024–25 V.League 2]].
==History== ===Phù Đổng era=== Phù Đổng was established in [[Hanoi]] in 2015, competing at the [[Vietnamese Football League Second Division]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thethaovanhoa.vn/bong-da-viet/clb-bong-da-phu-dong-ra-mat-n20151005012305756.htm|title=CLB bóng đá Phù Đổng ra mắt|date=5 October 2015|publisher=|access-date=26 April 2018|archive-date=27 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180427115918/https://thethaovanhoa.vn/bong-da-viet/clb-bong-da-phu-dong-ra-mat-n20151005012305756.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> Before the 2017 season, Phù Đổng had recruited former national team [[Defender (association football)|defender]] [[Vũ Như Thành]] as captain, and persuaded midfielder [[Cao Sỹ Cường]] to continue playing. At the same time, the team also announced information about the new major sponsor, Mitsubishi Motors Vietnam, with a large amount of funding.<ref>{{cite web |date=2017-03-05 |url=http://phudongfc.com/activity/doi-bong-hang-nhi-phu-dong-fc-co-nha-bao-tro-khung |title=CLB Bóng đá Phù Đổng |publisher=Phudongfc.com |access-date=2018-06-03 |archive-date=2017-11-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107014919/http://phudongfc.com/activity/doi-bong-hang-nhi-phu-dong-fc-co-nha-bao-tro-khung |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://bongdaplus.vn/nhieu-cuu-sao-v-league-bat-ngo-quy-tu-o-clb-phu-dong-1851051704.html|title=Nhiều cựu sao V.League bất ngờ quy tụ ở CLB Phù Đổng|publisher=Bongdaplus|access-date=2019-08-19|archive-date=2019-08-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190819180036/http://bongdaplus.vn/nhieu-cuu-sao-v-league-bat-ngo-quy-tu-o-clb-phu-dong-1851051704.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
In 2021, the club promoted to the [[2021 V.League 2|V.League 2]].
