Hyderabad Football Club is an Indian professional football club based in Hyderabad, Telangana.[3][4] The club competes in the Indian Super League (ISL), the top flight of Indian football. Founded on 27 August 2019, the club replaced Pune City in the ISL, after the current club owners bought the stakes in 26 August 2019. The club began their first professional season in October 2019.

On 16 June 2020, German club Borussia Dortmund struck a partnership deal with the club for grassroots development. Hyderabad play their home matches at the G.M.C Balayogi Athletic Stadium in the Hyderabad suburb of Gachibowli. The stadium has a capacity of about 30,000 for matches.

Hyderabad played their inaugural match on 25 October 2019, suffering a 0–5 defeat to ATK. The club completed their first season in the Indian Super League in 10th place, failing to qualify for the playoffs. The club won their first ever championship in the 2021–22 ISL by defeating Kerala Blasters 3–1 penalties in the final.
