Song Lam Nghe An Football Club (Vietnamese: Câu lạc bộ Bóng đá Sông Lam Nghệ An), simply known as Song Lam Nghe An or SLNA, is a professional V.League 1 football club playing at the Vinh Stadium in the city of Vinh, Nghe An province, Vietnam. This is a club that has won many titles from the V.League 1, Vietnamese Cup, Vietnamese Super Cup as well as youth tournaments and is one of the clubs that contributes the most players to the Vietnam national football team . Up to now, Song Lam Nghe An has had a tradition of only using internal soldiers who are players from the club's own training facility. Almost all of these players are from Nghe An , the rest are from Ha Tinh, so this can be considered the most unique club in the country.

With 10 major titles totally, SLNA is one of the most successful football club in Vietnam. In the international arena, the team performed well at the AFC Champions League in 2001. In the 2009–10 and 2010–11 seasons, under the direction of the head coach, Nguyễn Hữu Thắng, Song Lam Nghe An achieved all three titles: the V.League 1 championship, Vietnamese Cup, and the Vietnamese Super Cup.

The club's current president is Truong Sy Ba.

History

Logo used From the 2022 season

Original

During the French colonial period, the Vinh - Ben Thuy area once had a famous football team called the Yellow Shirt Team. This is considered the beginning of Nghe An football tradition. Some people believe that this is the origin of the traditional yellow shirt of the Song Lam Nghe An team today.

However, the Nghe Tinh region hardly had any outstanding breakthroughs throughout most of the war. It was not until 1973 that the Nghe Tinh Provincial Military Command established an amateur football team to compete in the B Division. This team is considered the predecessor of today's Song Lam Nghe An.

Song Lam Nghe Tinh

In 1979, after the National Football Championship system was established, with good performance, the team was ranked in the national A2 class. On February 28, 1979, the team was officially transferred by the Nghe Tinh Provincial Military Command to the Nghe Tinh Provincial People's Committee for management and renamed Song Lam Football Team.

In 1980, Coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh began taking charge of the first team of Song Lam Nghe Tinh Football Team. From here, despite being a "young" team in Vietnamese football compared to teams such as The Cong, Cang Saigon, Hanoi Police, Haiphong Police, with the efforts of the coach Coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh, Song Lam football team has begun to have a series of achievements, as well as a unique playing style of its own, on par with older teams.

Prior to the start of the 2022 V.League 1 season, ownership of the club was transferred to the Tan Long Group. The change in ownership came with a logo rebrand and a new practice facility being built.
