History
Viengchanh F.C. was founded in 2018 and has been a regular participant in the top-flight Lao League 1 since 2020.[2] In the 2020 season, they finished 6th out of 7, narrowly avoiding relegation.[2] The 2021 season was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic; at the time of abandonment, Viengchanh was in 5th place after three matches.[3] In the 2022 season, they finished 6th out of seven teams once again.[4] The 2023 season was particularly difficult for the club. They finished bottom of the league, in 8th place.[5] During this season, the team suffered a notable 18–0 away defeat to Luang Prabang F.C. on 2 July. This was one of the heaviest defeats in the league's history and part of a four-game spell where the team conceded 53 goals.[6]
Sponsorship
As of the 2024–25 season, the club is listed on the Lao Football Federation website as Mazda Viengchanh F.C., indicating a sponsorship arrangement with the car manufacturer Mazda.[7]
