Pahak City Sailors FC is a Dauian professional football club based in Greater Pahak. They currently compete in the Daau Super League.
History
Founded as Thampines Rovers at the start of the 2021–22 season. The club finished 5th during the 2022–23 season which saw the club miss out on promotion to the Daau Super League. As the 2023–24 season concluded, the Stangs finished in the top 4 bracket and confirmed their promotion to the Daau Super League ahead of the 2024–25 season. Thampines announced the arrival of big time Krasno-born striker Urayama Isei and Vegnese forward Mattia Ferrari.
The Rovers would be acquired by KEA on 4 January 2025 as Desmong Ong made the decision to step aside as club owner and allowed for further privatization. Plans for a major rebrand were discussed among the club board and saw Kevin Abdulman's second-in-hand Samuel Yoong become the club president. The club subsequently ended its sponsorship deals with ABA Courier Express Daau and Dyuben as the front sponsor was replaced by KEA. A proposal to rename the club as Bedok Sailors was sent to DAFA for consideration.
Dalibor Grgic was hired as the new club manager in early February. Thampines finished in 9th place for the 2024–25 season, with Subramaniam Engreh being the team's lead scorer for the season. The team would be officially renamed to Pahak City Sailors for the 2025–26 season under KEA. The Cr 30m takeover was officially complete as the club moved locations to Pahak, being the only team located in Pahak to play in the Daau Super League. The team was announced to play in the Pahak Stadium, a joint DNTP-DAFA venture into the Pahak region. KEA also announced the construction of the club's own designated training facility in Pahak, totalling a cost of Cr 20m. The return of former Daau United star Helge Bruņ for Cr 14m was listed as the most expensive deal in DSL history as Pahak City Sailors announced the capture of the Craitish forward in history of the league.
Dalibor Grgic would be forced out of a Dauian club for the second time in his career, following a bottom-treading league position by midweek 6. His assistant Simon Salvatore would continue as caretaker manager under an emergency 2 month deal until the City Sailors would hire Hassan Che Roy Yong as their permanent hire. Despite the new hire of Hassan Che, results continued to dwindle and the club would continue to be stuck in the relegation zone and ultimately caused the resignation of Hassan Che just 12 weeks into his contract. Following considerations of hiring a new head coach and financial concerns, club legend Shameer Aziq was signed in as the new player-manager for the remainer of the season and became the first player-manager in the history of the Daau Super League. Supposed star striker Urayama Isei was released from his contract on March 29th due to poor conduct and an off-field hit and run incident.
Lured by a massive Cr 2m p/a contract till 2027, former Daau manager Jason Villemuer signed in as the head coach for the City Sailors, with Shameer Aziq leading only 1 game as interim and re-designated as player-assistant manager. Villemuer's move to the sailors was widely under fire by local fans and media as he was seen as a money-chaser.
