Bắc Ninh

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.
