Thể Công–Viettel Football Club (Vietnamese pronunciation: [tʰe˧˩ kəwŋ͡m˧˧-], Vietnamese: Câu lạc bộ Bóng đá Thể Công – Viettel), commonly known as Thể Công, is a Vietnamese professional football club based in Hanoi. The club is formally operated by Viettel Sports Center – an affiliation of Viettel Group – and competes in the V.League 1, the top tier of the Vietnamese football league system.
Thể Công–Viettel is the modern incarnation of Thể Công, which was one of the most widely supported clubs and also one of the most successful club in Vietnamese football history, having won 13 North Vietnam national titles and 6 V.League 1 titles after Vietnam's reunification. The club has also contributed many great players to the national team.
Thể Công–Viettel's traditional colour is red, leading to the nickname Cơn lốc đỏ (Red Tornado). As Thể Công, they held a long-standing rivalry with Cong An Hà Nội, known as the "Hanoi Derby" or the "Vietnamese Clasico", from the mid-1950s to their dissolution in 2002. Nowadays, the derby is contested between Thể Công–Viettel, Hà Nội and Cong An Hà Nội.
