History

The predecessor of Đà Nẵng Football Club was the Quang Nam-Đà Nẵng Workers' Football Club, then renamed the Quang Nam-Đà Nẵng Football Club. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Quang Nam-Da Nang was a strong club, culminating in the national championship in 1992, and winning runner-up three times (1987, 1990, 1991). . After that, Da Nang football said goodbye to a series of players and began to decline. In 1997, the team merged with the Đà Nẵng Water Supply Football Club to take the common name Da Nang. By 2001, Da Nang finished runner-up First Division 2000–01 and promoted to 2001-02 V.League.

Before the season V-League 2008, Đà Nẵng Football Club changed its name to SHB Đà Nẵng Football Club after the Department of Sports and Physical Training of Da Nang City transferred the team to SHB Bank.

A year later, a few days before the V-League 2009 kicked off, the club officially converted its operating model into a Sports Joint Stock Company. SHB Da Nang Sports Joint Stock Company officially launched on 2 February-year 2009.^[4] With an investment of over 55 billion VND, the season V-League 2009 was a successful season for SHB Đà Nẵng when they won a double national championship and 2009 Vietnamese Cup.

Besides, SHB Da Nang's fan association also won the best fan association award in those two years.^{[citation needed]}

The season 2015 was one of the worst seasons for coach Lê Huỳnh Đức and his team when they only ranked 9th overall match, ranked right behind QNK Quang Nam. In addition, all of the club's youth teams failed and did not achieve any results. Previously, after failing to win in the first 5 rounds, there were doubts about the position of head coach Lê Huỳnh Đức. This failure was acknowledged by the team's leadership as being due to lack of preparation and investment, poor selection of foreign players, as well as a lack of close attention to the youth ranks when deciding to drop two generations U-11 and U-13 for funding reasons.^{[citation needed]}

Also this season, the club suffered a huge loss when former honorary chairman of the club Nguyễn Bá Thành died on 13 February 2015. To commemorate him, the entire team wore ribbons. funeral in the away match against Dong Tam Long An.^[5]

For the 2016 season, drawing lessons from the previous season, the club leaders and coaching staff were determined to change the team's blood. When bringing in quality names in the transfer market such as Thanh Hải from Long An, former captain of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Lê Hoàng Thiên and former Vietnam Olympic National Team player Lâm Anh Quang from Nam Dinh.^[6] Right after the end of the 2015 season, SHB Da Nang quickly signed a contract with Mali striker Souleymane Diabate from Long An, but only after a few training sessions with the new club, this player had heart problems so the club decided to liquidate the contract ahead of time.^[7] As a replacement, the coaching staff invited back former 2011 V-League top scorer Gastón Merlo, in addition to signing a contract with Jamaican player Horace James from the Malaysian Super League and naturalized Brazilian player Đinh Văn Ta. SHB Da Nang also had time to add an overseas Vietnamese player from the United States, Minh Alva Vu, but because he had not yet completed the procedures for naturalization in Vietnam, this player was registered in phase 2 of the season.^[8] Regarding the registration list for 2016 V.League, coach Lê Huỳnh Đức was forced to eliminate two national U-23 players, Vo Huy Toan and Hồ Ngọc Thắng. This season, the club had a very impressive achievement when ranked third with 49 points, only 1 point behind the championship team and Gastón Merlo won the top scorer title for the 4th time with 24 goals. win, the highest in V.League history.

2018 was another failed season for the club, only winning 9th place, with 31 points after 26 rounds. Under the guidance of coach Nguyễn Minh Phương, the team plays very well at home but away from home only draws or loses. Therefore, after the end of the season, coach Nguyen Minh Phuong submitted his resignation and the team's board of directors decided to re-invite coach Le Huynh Duc to lead the team during this difficult period.

In 2019, the team's board of directors signed an agreement with Kamito Joint Stock Company from Japan, to sponsor soccer uniforms for the team.^[9] This is a huge mark in the professionalization of the club.^[10]

In 2020, in round 6 of the V.League at home, despite being scored first by Hoang Anh Gia Lai, the club fought back, winning with a score of 3–1. This is one of the rare teams to defeat HAGL at home since HAGL joined the V.League (2003) with 14 wins, 3 draws (2004, 2013, 2014) and 1 loss (2003).
