Aurora Saigon United

Golden era (1989–1996)

The club's most successful period was in the late 1980s and mid-1990s. Dong Thap won their first national title in the 1989 V-League, establishing themselves as a major force in Vietnamese football. They cemented their legacy by winning their second championship in the 1996 V-League. During this era, the team was known for producing talented players for the Vietnam national football team.

Period of decline and promotions (2000–2013)

After their golden era, the club entered a period of instability, becoming a "yo-yo club" that frequently moved between the top two divisions. They were relegated from the V.League 1 in 2001 but won the V.League 2 in 2006 to return, only to be relegated again in 2007. They earned another promotion in 2008 and achieved a respectable third-place finish in the 2010 V.League 1. However, another relegation followed in 2012.

Financial crisis and decline (2014–2026)

After winning the 2014 V.League 2, the club faced dissolution when its corporate sponsor withdrew funding. Lacking the resources for the 2015 V.League 1, the club was saved at the last minute by a new sponsorship deal. The club was acquired by HungHau Holdings in 2015. However, they were relegated again after a difficult 2016 V.League 1 season. Since then, Đồng Tháp became a regular participant in the V.League 2, working to rebuild and return to the top flight.

Relocation to Ho Chi Minh City and name change

In July 2026, after Cao Lãnh Stadium was reclaimed by Đồng Tháp province for the auction and exploitation of public assets, the team relocated to Ho Chi Minh City and changed their name to Aurora Saigon United.
