# Phu Dong Ninh Binh FC

Phu Dong Ninh Binh Football Club (Vietnamese: Câu lạc bộ bóng đá Phù Đổng Ninh Bình), simply known as Phu Dong, is a Vietnamese professional football club based in Ninh Binh, Vietnam. The club currently competes at the V.League 2, the second highest tier of Vietnamese football.

## History

Phù Đổng FC was established in Hanoi in 2015, competing at the Vietnamese Football League Second Division. Before the 2017 season, Phu Dong had recruited former national team 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.
In 2021, the club promoted to the V.League 2. Due to their home stadium Thanh Trì in Hanoi not meeting the league's capacity requirements, the club switched its home stadium to the Ninh Bình Stadium in Ninh Bình province from the 2023 season. In the 2023–24 season, the club permanently moved its location to Ninh Bình, thus changing the team name to the current Phù Đổng Ninh Binh. In the following season, after LPBank became the main shareholder of the club, its entire players and staffs were switched with LPBank HCMC.
