Hoang Anh Gia Lai Football Club (Vietnamese: Câu lạc bộ Bóng đá Hoàng Anh Gia Lai), commonly known as Hoang Anh Gia Lai and simply known as HAGL, is a Vietnamese professional football club based in Pleiku, Gia Lai. Owned by Đoàn Nguyên Đức, a prominent Vietnamese businessman and founder of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Group, HAGL play in the top division of Vietnamese football, V.League 1. Their home stadium is Pleiku Stadium.[2]

History

Early years

The forerunner of the club is Gia Lai - Kon Tum football team, founded in 1976. Despite being an amateur team, the team also once won the A2 championship (equivalent to the A2 championship) including South Central and Central Highlands.[3] In 1991, the province Gia Lai - Kon Tum was separated into Gia Lai and Kon Tum. As the result, the team was split into the Gia Lai football team and Kon Tum football team. Some players of the former Gia Lai - Kon Tum team returned to be the core of the new Gia Lai team.

Hoang Anh Gia Lai era

For 10 years, the team was organized with the model of a career unit with an average performance in the First Division and not very well known on the football map of Vietnam. In 2001, the team was transformed into a semi-professional model under the sponsorship of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Group. Before the football season V.League 2 2001–2002, the club's chairman Đoàn Nguyên Đức signed a contract with the captain of Thailand national football team at that time, Kiatisuk Senamuang.[4] In the Thai press ran big "headline" "Who is Hoang Anh? Where is Gia Lai" full of ridicule,and the media in Vietnam also have many doubts about the ability to attract a high-class player like Kiatisuk to Gia Lai. However, all rumors ended on February 17, 2002, when Kiatisuk and teammate defender Chukiat Noosarung came to Vietnam to prepare to play for the team.This is considered one of the most successful contracts of Vietnamese football. Kiatisuk helped Hoang Anh Gia Lai's team to be promoted right in that season. At the end of the season, the team was officially transferred to Hoang Anh Gia Lai Group for management, changed its name to Hoang Anh Gia Lai Football Club, becoming one of the first professional football club in Vietnam. The club made a record of winning the 2003 V-League championship after having just been promoted and successfully defended its title the following season. At the same time, the team also won two Vietnamese Super Cup in those years.

In the years that followed, the club built a team that was nicknamed "Dream Team" by Vietnamese fans, after Thai players like Dusit Chalermsan arrived to the team.

But the most successful period of this period of the club was 2007, when Hoang Anh Gia Lai succeeded in signing an agreement with the English football club Arsenal to open a football academy in Pleiku. Hoang Anh Gia Lai is also Arsenal's main partner in business in Southeast Asia. After two years, the development of the academy's first generation of players is considered very promising.

In the 2010 season, Hoang Anh Gia Lai club had a change in its team development plan when using many young players trained by themselves, instead of massively shopping like in previous seasons. At the same time, the club's legend, the former Thai striker,Kiatisuk Senamuang was invited by the club's president Doan Nguyen Duc to lead the team. The club has had a good momentum ahead of the new season when winning the Ho Chi Minh City football championship. Ho Chi Minh Open - Navibank Cup 2010. However, the performance at the national championship has not improved much when at the end of the season 2010 V-League, Hoang Anh Gia Lai only ranked 7th and runner up in the Vietnamese National Cup.

The 2011 season was a season where the performance of the whole team was very erratic. Although coach Dusit left the coaching chair after the first leg and was replaced by coach Huynh Van Anh, the team's performance not only did not improve but also showed signs of going down. At the end of 2011 V-League, Hoang Anh Gia Lai ranked 9th, this is the worst performance since the club came to play in V-League.

In the 2012 season, Hoang Anh Gia Lai made a revolution in the coaching chair, when the club's board decided to invite Korean coach Choi Yoon Gyum to lead the team. The Korean coach has improved the player's fitness and professionalism. 5th place at the end of the season is still considered a good achievement for Mr. Choi Yoon-Gyum and the players.

From June 30, 2017, the entire cooperation between Arsenal and Hoang Anh Gia Lai ends. HAGL Academy – Arsenal JMG also changed its name to HAGL-JMG Academy.[5]

In the 2021 V.League 1, Kiatisuk Senamuang were invited back to lead by the team's leadership. The club started V.League 1 not very well when they lost 1–0 to Saigon with a score of 1–0. This loss opened the team's 11-match unbeaten streak (won 9, drew 2) and helped the team reach the top 6 teams, before the 2021 season had to be stopped and then canceled because the impact of COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam.

The team proactively prepared their squad by adding fitness assistant Witoon Mingkwan.[6] Foreign players Washington Brandão and Kim Dong-su had their contracts extended.[7] Brazilian midfielder Mauricio Barbosa was signed to replace Damir Memović.[8] The team also added striker Jefferson Baiano to bolster their attacking power.[9]

After a 17-year absence, Hoang Anh Gia Lai returned to the AFC Champions League - the No. 1 club tournament in Asia (as the leading team of V.League 1 - 2021).[10][11] The team finished the group stage with 5 points and third place, failing to advance to the round of 16. On 2 November 2023, due to sponsorship reasons, Hoang Anh Gia Lai Football Club changed its name to LPBank-Hoang Anh Gia Lai Football Club.[12][13][14] On 31 July 2024, the club changed their name back to Hoang Anh Gia Lai FC, removing the sponsor name from the team's name.[15]
