The club was originally established as a youth academy. The decision to participate in the professional competition was made to provide the youth players with the opportunity to represent the Mongolian national team.
This local focus has been maintained to this day and has earned the club the reputation of being "The Nationals' Team" ("Монголын баг").[2] Their women's team plays in the Women's National Football League.
