Founded on 17 January 2023 as Vanesse FC (Korean: 바네스 FC),[2] the club has participated in the K4 League. The club has been renamed twice, as Sejong SA FC(Korean: 세종 SA FC) in 2024 and as Seoul Phoenix FC (Korean: 서울 피닉스 FC)[3] in 2025. The club debuted in the Malaysian football league system in the 2025–26 Malaysia A1 Semi-Pro League season. Hence, Kwon Hyuk-hoon, owner of Sejong SA FC, expanded into Malaysia by establishing FC Seoul Phoenix.
