History
The club was founded in 1987. The club originally evolved from Orchid Sports Club, a team which was formed by the staff of Bandos Island Resort. Orchid was later bought by the owners of Club Lagoons, which later was undertaken by a group of businessmen from Addu Atoll and renamed to Island Football Club. The team was changed to VB Sports Club in 2006.
