History
Quảng Nam Football Club was founded from the Công Nhân Quảng Nam - Đà Nẵng football team.[1][2] After the separation of the provinces in 1997, the Quảng Nam football team was established separately. After many ups and downs, in 2013, the team won the national first division championship and was promoted to the 2014 V.League 1. In the 2017 season, the team made history by winning its first national championship.[3] However, due to not meeting the criteria of the AFC, Quảng Nam FC gave up the place to attend the AFC Cup 2018 to FLC Thanh Hóa.[4][5][6]
On 26 December 2011, the club was renamed QNK Quảng Nam after being sponsored by QNK Investment Joint Stock Company. On 29 December 2016, the team officially changed its name to Quảng Nam Football Club as it is known today.[7] On 25 November 2017, in the last round of V-League 2017, Quảng Nam FC won 3–1 against Ho Chi Minh FC at Tam Kỳ home stadium.[7][8][9]
In the National Cup, Quảng Nam were semi-finalists twice in 2016 and 2017,[10] finished as runner-up in 2019, and won the Vietnamese Super Cup in 2017.[11][12] In 2020, after an unsuccessful season, Quảng Nam was forced to play in the 2021 V.League 2.[13][14] According to the team development plan, Quảng Nam must return to the professional league within 3 years, the earliest being in 2021.[15][16][17]
In 2023, the club won the 2023 V.League 2 championship by surpassing PVF-CAND on goal difference and was promoted to 2023–24 V.League 1.
