## History

[edit]

Ulaangom City was founded in 2018. In 2023 the club, led by manager Buyankhishig Purevjav, won the National Amateur Cup and earned the right to compete in the Mongolia Second League later that year. After topping its group, the club defeated Khökh Zapuus FC 1–0 in the final to win the tournament. The club featured the tournament's top scorer, midfielder, and defender that season: N. Sainbuyan, R. Sodnomragchaa, and Ch. Battogtokh, respectively.[2]

The club won its first two matches ever in the Second League, with victories over Irvesuud FC and Tuuliin Tom Tunuud FC. On 16 September 2023 the club competed in its first-ever MFF Cup contest. The match resulted in a 4–1 victory over UB Mazaalai.[3] That season, the club won its second-consecutive league title and earned promotion to the First League for the 2024/2025 season. Two Ulaangom City players also took home individual awards, J. Dashnyam as the league's best goalkeeper and E. Amarsaana as the best defender.[4]
