Hai Phong

Hải Phòng Football Club was founded in 1952 as Voi Vòng Đất Cảng, and after Haiphong's liberation from France in 1955 the team was renamed Hải Phòng. In 1957 it became Công An Hải Phòng, and the club is considered to have originated from that predecessor. It is the only team in the city of Haiphong that survived after government subsidies were removed.

The club plays at Lạch Tray Stadium, a multi-use stadium in Haiphong that holds approximately 30,000 spectators. The stadium was built in 1957 from a horse farm belonging to the Lạch Tray Horse Club.

The club was renamed Hải Phòng Cement in 2007 and Vicem Hải Phòng in 2011 under its cement company owners, before being transferred to the Haiphong People's Committee in 2014 and taking its current name. Under the Hải Phòng Cement ownership, the club finished third in the Vietnamese top flight and signed Brazilian World Cup 2002 winner Denílson.
