If approved, the new name will take effect from the 2025–2026 football season. It is the club’s fourth name since its founding, following Song Be, Binh Duong and Becamex Binh Duong.
“Based on policies and guidelines of the Party and State as well as the support of fans in the South, especially Ho Chi Minh City, Becamex Binh Duong FC expressed aspiration to change its name for the V-League and other professional tournaments” quoted from the official document issued on July 13 by Mr. Dang Tran Chinh, General Director of Becamex Binh Duong Football Club Joint Stock Company.
Thus, in the 2025–2026 football season, Ho Chi Minh City will have two clubs with similar names Becamex Ho Chi Minh City and Ho Chi Minh City FC.
