Central Stallions FC is a Mongolian professional football club from Töv Province that currently competes in the Mongolian Premier League.
History
[edit]The club was founded as Tuv Buganuud FC in 2018 with the support of the local government of Töv Province.[1] It was promoted to the Mongolia Premier League for the first time for the 2021–22. They earned promotion by finishing runner-up in the Mongolian First League in 2021 then defeating Khoromkhon FC in a play-off series.[2]
The club rebranded as Tuv Azarganuud during the 2023–24 season. The following season saw the club without a single point from nine matches during the first half of campaign. The club defied the odds during the second half of the season and leapfrogged Brera Ilch FC to qualify for a promotion/relegation play-off with Ulaangom City FC. Central Stallions maintained its place in the top division with a comfortable victory in the play-off series.[3]
Ahead of the 2025–26 season, the club again rebranded, this time as Central Stallions FC, the English translation of its name. The club also had a major roster overhaul, bringing in several Mongolian internationals and Bayasgalangiin Garidmagnai as head coach. The Stallions entered the winter break undefeated and at the top of the league table.[3]
