History

Taichung Futuro Football Academy was founded in 2016 by Japanese footballer Yoshitaka Komori. The men's team was established in 2018.^[2] A second-place finish in 2022 meant qualification to next season's AFC Cup play-offs. They secured a group stage place in the 2023-24 AFC Cup after beating Macanese side Monte Carlo 2–1 in the East Asia Zone play off, and managed to secure progression to the Inter-zone play-off semi-finals by virtue of goal difference over Mongolia's FC Ulaanbaatar.
