History
Foundation and MNL entry
Yangon City FC was established in mid‑2024 with the aim of developing local talent from the Yangon Region and contributing to national team success. The club took part in the Myanmar National League expansion, making its debut in the 2024 to 2025 season. They play home matches at Thuwunna Training Ground, with plans to build a stadium by 2027.
Appointment of U Aung Naing
In early 2025, the club signed former Myanmar U‑19 national team manager U Aung Naing, known for leading Shan United to the 2019 league title. Local club announcements also confirm he was brought in "to teach structured training methods and youth goalkeeper coaching".
Club identity
The club's nickname, The Cities, reflects its blue kit. The badge portrays the Yangon skyline, symbolising urban pride.
