History

1976–1996

In 1976, the club was established as ''Sông Bé F.C.'', named after the Bé River, a well-known river in Bình Dương Province. The first club's head coach was Do Thoi Vinh. In 1978, two Sông Bé teams competed in the National Division A, with Sông Bé II winning the regional championship. Afterward, the two sides were merged into one club under head coach Nguyen Kim Phung. In 1994, Sông Bé won its first ever national title, the

. One year later, however, they were relegated from the Vietnamese National First Division (the highest competition in Vietnam at that time) as punishment by the VFF after Sông Bé and 3 other clubs refused to play 2 relegation play-off matches. In 1996, Sông Bé and Cao Su Binh Long merged into one club which achieved promotion to the top competition that same year.

1997–2001

In January 1997, the club was renamed Bình Dương after Sông Bé Province was divided into two parts, Bình Dương and Bình Phước. In 1998, Bình Dương was relegated from the First Division and suffered for some years from a lack of development.

2002–present

In 2002, Bình Dương Football Joint-stock Company was founded when Bình Dương FC was taken over by Bình Dương Television Broadcaster (BTV) and Becamex IDC, the strongest multi-industry economy corporation in Bình Dương. The financial backing from Becamex IDC was a huge boost for the club. In 2003, Becamex Bình Dương won promotion to the V.League, marking the emergence of the new football powerhouse in Vietnam. During this time, the club earned the nickname Chelsea of Vietnam for its strong financial backing. In 2007 and
