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. They are the first and only team to have reached 1000 points in the V.League.

History
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.
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.
In 1992, Nghe Tinh province was divided into two separate provinces: Nghe An and Ha Tinh.[1][2] On March 21, 1994, the Nghe An Provincial People's Committee decided to rename the team to Song Lam Football Team[3][4] and transform it into a professional unit under the Department of Physical Education and Sports.[5] In 1996, the team won the bronze medal in the National Championship and the National Cup.[6]
In 2000, Song Lam Nghe An won the National Championship for the first time.[7][8][9] In 2010, the team won the National Cup for the second time.[10][11] In the 2011 season, the club won its third championship with a 1–1 draw against Hanoi T&T at Vinh Stadium, finishing the V.League with 49 points after 26 rounds.[12][13] In the 2017 season, despite finishing only 7th in the V.League, Song Lam Nghe An defeated Dak Lak, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Quang Nam and Becamex Binh Duong to win the 2017 Vietnamese Cup.[14][15]
The 2020 season was the most difficult period for Song Lam Nghe An in the V.League 1.[16] In early 2022, the club officially announced a new brand identity.[17][18] The team's old logo was replaced with a new one with a more modern design.[19]
International cooperation

Song Lam Nghe An signed a cooperation agreement with Japanese club Mito HollyHock on 1 January 2024, on a one-year deal. In this cooperation program, Mito HollyHock will advise and support the construction of a team management and administration system in the direction of improving the professional capacity of departments for Song Lam Nghe An Club and help perfecting the club's organizational structure following the Japanese football club model.
