Perspective
Tainan City Football Club was established with the support of the Tainan City Government and the Football Committee of the Tainan City Sports Federation, Hongxin Enterprise and Taiwan Steel Group. The team joined the Taiwan Football Premier League, under the name Tainan City in 2017, which most of the players came from Tianmu Campus, University of Taipei. Tainan City structure and its players changed, since Taiwan Steel Group acquired the club and renamed it as Tainan City Taiwan Steel in 2019, importing national team players such as Wu Chun-ching.
