Nicknamed Nan-Ba-Tien (Chinese: 南霸天, lit. Southern Overlord), Taipower[citation needed] are the most successful football club in Taiwan, having won 14 league titles, notably in 10 consecutive seasons from 1994 to 2004. With the exits of Flying Camel and Taipei City Bank F.C. in the late 1990s, Taipower and Tatung F.C. are the only two remaining football clubs never relegated from Taiwan Football Premier League. According to the Taipei Times, in the middle of the 1990s Taipower and Tatung reigned supreme in Taiwanese football.[2] Taipower became the first Taiwanese club to win a major Asian title when they won the 2011 AFC President's Cup at home in Kaohsiung.
The team rented the field of Kaohsiung Municipal Chung-Cheng Industrial High School for practices in 2018.[3]
