Bac Ninh FC

Bac Ninh Football Club (Vietnamese: Câu lạc bộ bóng đá Bắc Ninh) is a Vietnamese football club based in Bắc Ninh who plays their home matches at the Việt Yên Stadium. They currently play in V.League 1, the highest tier of the Vietnamese football league system. History Bắc Ninh Football Club was established in 2023, based on the "Bắc Ninh Province Men's Football Development Project" 2024–2030 of the People's Committee of Bắc Ninh province. The club made its public debut in early 2024 by winning a four-team friendly tournament, the "Chào Xuân 2024" Cup. The project is backed by the Hanaka Group, a prominent local corporation, which provides strong financial support. In 2024, Bắc Ninh entered the Vietnamese Second Division after purchasing the participation spot of Gia Định. The club appointed former Sông Lam Nghệ An's manager Ngô Quang Trường as the head coach, and also signed a five-year deal with former Vietnam national team former manager Park Hang-seo as its sports advisor. In their first season, the team managed to top their group in the Second Division and qualified to the promotion play-off game. There, they lost in the penalty shootout (after a 2–2 draw) against Hồ Chí Minh City Youth and failed to promote to the V.League 2. In the 2025 season, the club successfully promoted to V.League 2 as professional football for the first time by defeating Hà Nội B in the 12th matchday of the 2025 Second Division. After the promotion, the club invested heavily in its squad, signing several high-profile players with V.League 1 and national team experience, such as Nguyễn Hải Huy, Trương Văn Thiết and Hà Đức Chinh. Bắc Ninh finished second in the 2025–26 V.League 2, and promoted to the V.League 1 via the promotion/relegation play-offs after defeating PVF-CAND in the penalty shootout. Colours and logo The club's traditional colours are blue, yellow, and black. The logo is designed as a blue shield with a golden border, symbolizing strength and stability. The centerpiece is a golden dragon from the Lý Dynasty era, representing prosperity and power. This iconography is a direct reference to the history and culture of the Bắc Ninh–Kinh Bắc region, the birthplace of the Lý dynasty. The words "BAC NINH" and "FOOTBALL CLUB" are inscribed above and below the dragon, respectively, along with the founding year, 2023. The logo reflects both sporting ambition and pride in the local heritage of Quan họ folk singing. Kit and sponsorship Stadium While competing in the Second Division, Bắc Ninh's home ground was Từ Sơn City Stadium in Đồng Kỵ ward, Từ Sơn. The stadium has a capacity of approximately 5,000 spectators. After promoting to the 2025–26 V.League 2, Bắc Ninh moved to Việt Yên Stadium. Inaugurated in late 2024, Viet Yen Stadium is a modern sports facility covering an area of over 8,000m².
