Tainan City F.C., for sponsorship reasons currently known as Taiwan Steel (Chinese: 台灣鋼鐵足球隊), is a Taiwanese professional football club which currently competes in the Taiwan Football Premier League.
History
The team joined the Taiwan Football Premier League, under the name Tainan City F.C. in 2017, which most of the players came from Tianmu Campus, University of Taipei, and was supported by Tainan City Government. The team structure and its players changed, since Taiwan Steel Group acquired the club and renamed it in 2019, importing national team players such as Wu Chun-ching.
Ahead of the 2020 season, Taiwan Steel Group added national team goalkeeper Pan Wen-chieh, defender Chen Wei-chuan, 2019 MVP Marc Fenelus, and 2019 Top Scorer Benchy Estama.
They won national league in 2020. In 2021, they played the AFC Cup for the first time.
Tainan City heeft nog nooit een grote prijs gewonnen, maar was wel een aantal keer dicht bij het winnen van de Taiwan Football Premier League. In 2017 werd de club tweede en in 2018 derde.
De club speelt zijn thuiswedstrijden in het Tainan City Stadium. Het stadion heeft een capaciteit van 15.351 plaatsen.
De huidige trainer van Tainan City is Chang Kuo-chen.
