Albirex Niigata FC

Beginning (2004–2010)

FC Jurong was originally established as Albirex Niigata Singapore, a satellite team of Japanese club Albirex Niigata. The club also known as Albirex Niigata (S) joined the S. League in 2004. It was in that year the Football Association of Singapore decided to invite foreign teams in the league in a bid to deal with poor attendance issues. For the first years of the club's participation in the league it has settled in the mid-table in the standings. In 2008, Daisuke Korenaga became chairman of the club. He secured sponsorship from Japanese companies with presence in Singapore, with the club having as many as 50 sponsors and improved fan engagement by setting up an academy.
