Bangkok F.C. is a professional Thai football club based in the Muang Thong Thani district of north Bangkok, Thailand. Bangkok F.C. plays in the Thai League 3. Its home stadium for the 2019 season: SCG Stadium. Bangkok F.C. was founded in 1999. Its first name was Bangkok Bravo F.C., and then it was renamed to Bangkok F.C. in 2010, when Natthaphol Teepsuwan became the owner and the chairman of the club. He also changed the logo to be a bull over a background of the Giant Swing, which is a symbol of Bangkok. At that time Bangkok F.C. used Chaloem Phrakiat Bang Mod Stadium as their home field. Bangkok F.C. played in Regional League Division 2 for three seasons after relegation from Thai Division 1 League in 2007. Their first season in Division 2 was a disaster as the then known Bangkok Bravo finished well adrift at the bottom of the league. The following year in Bangkok Division 2 ended with mid-table respectability. In 2010 the newly named Bangkok FC finished the league season strongly to win Bangkok Thai Division 2 League. This earned them a place in Division 2 Champions League. The Bulls started poorly but regained some form to creep into 4th place in the play-off. That wasn't enough to earn promotion but it did earn them another play-off opportunity due to the expansion of the 1st division. Their luck was in when they were drawn to play a two legged tie against the hapless Narathiwat. The Bulls duly dispatched Narathiwat 11–2 on aggregate. The Bulligans managed a creditable 11th-placed finish in their first season back in Division 1, while they finished one place higher in 2012. With big money invested on players and coaching staff, the 10th-placed finish was seen as an underachievement by many. In 2010 Natthaphol Teepsuwan brought in Thongsuk Sampahungsith, a former Thailand National Team manager, to manage and develop the club. Thongsuk needed only one year to take Bangkok F.C. from Division 2 to Division 1. In 2012, Thongsuk resigned as the manager. Bangkok F.C.'s nickname was "The Iron Bulls", due to their logo that had a bull on it. The fans of this club called themselves "The Bull team" from 2010 to 2012. The next manager was Kiatisuk Senamuang, a former player of the Thailand National Team. He managed the team from 2012 to 2013. Bangkok F.C. ended the 2013 season 4th place of the Division 1 table, so the team was not promoted to the Thai Premier League. In 2014 the Head Coach of the team was Pairoj Borwonwatanadilok former assistance coach of Thailand National Team. In 2019 Bangkok FC, under new ownership, revamped its logo and became the firebulls, and the tag line "Bangkok Rises" to signify aspirations to develop the team upwards to the top divisions over the next few seasons. Scomadi Thailand became the title sponsor.
