History
The club was established in 1975. In 2006 they won Division Two of the National Football League,[1] and were promoted to Division One.
In 2012, Eunos Crescent recruited former Tampines Rovers player, Akihiro Nakamura to the club who had appeared 125 times for them on a one-year contract.
In 2014, Eunos Crescent Women's team was crowned the champions of Women's Premier League with 38 points from 16 matches.[2]
In 2016, the club won the National Football League Division One title.[3] After winning the title, the club set their sight on promotion to the S.League, the country's professional league.[3] Former Woodlands Wellington manager and veteran local football official R Vengadasalam was hired as the Director of Football, overseeing the club’s youth development and looking for sponsorships.
Venga brought in Samy’s Curry Restaurant and Lotto as sponsors and also recruited former national players Indra Sahdan, Precious Emuejeraye and Tengku Mushadad.[4] Newly opened football, health and fitness facility, The Arena, become the club training training and home ground sponsor.[4] The club would train at The Arena's fitness facilities and played their home games at The Arena.[4]
Ahead of the 2017 season, the club receives a huge boost with a new sponsor, The Arena.[5] Darwin Jalil, the president of the club, had earlier commented on the lack of financial support from the FAS.[6][7] On 17 May 2017, the FAS announced that the club will play five of its remaining home matches at The Arena.[8]
