Deren FC is a professional football club based in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The club was founded in 2008 and currently plays in the Mongolian Premier League, making their debut appearance in the 2015 season. [1]

Contents

The club was originally established as a youth academy. The decision to participate in the professional competition of the higher leagues was made to provide the youth players with the opportunity to play at the highest national level as seniors and to have a chance to represent the Mongolian national team.

This local focus has been maintained to this day and has earned the club the reputation of being "The Nationals' Team" ("Монголын баг").

In this regard, Deren FC stands in contrast to most other Mongolian teams, which primarily rely on foreign players as their foundation and supplement them with local talent. [2]

Stadium

The club currently plays its home matches at the MFF Football Centre in Ulaanbaatar. The stadium, which opened in 2006, was renovated in 2013 by Deren FC's parent company, Deren Naran LLC, in collaboration with a Dutch partner, and now has a capacity of 5,000 spectators. [3]

Special Features

Deren FC is the only football club in Mongolia that owns its own football infrastructure and, thanks to its club-owned Airdome, can independently conduct both summer and winter training.

Additionally, the club is currently building a sports hotel with training facilities next to the full-size Airdome (114 x 82 x 29 meters) funded by FIFA and managed by the Mongolian Football Federation in Aimag Töv, about 40 kilometers outside of Ulaanbaatar. [4] This makes Deren FC the only club in Mongolia that can independently offer and organize accommodation and training camps for foreign football teams. The new sports facility is expected to be completed in the spring of 2025.

The Mongolia national football team represents Mongolia in international football under the control of the Mongolian Football Federation (MFF). Founded in 1959, the federation was inactive between 1961 and 1997 and the men's national team did not feature in any international fixtures during that time. The federation was reorganised in 1997 and joined the AFC the same year. In 1998 the federation became a full member of FIFA, the international governing body for the sport. The MFF joined the EAFF as one of eight founding members in May 2002. Because of the harsh climate and a lack of suitable venues, the team has hosted few home matches in the past. However, in 2002 the MFF, with assistance from FIFA, began developing facilities in the country, including the creation of the 5,000-seat MFF Football Centre, which will allow the team to play more matches in Mongolia. About Mongolia's relatively low number of matches played, former national team player and coach Zorigtyn Battulga said, "Lack of games is a problem. No one will come to Mongolia in December and for us to fly to other countries is very expensive so it’s hard to arrange official matches."
