The Football Section entered a senior team as a 3rd or 2nd division club when the league was founded. Seragaan FC was promoted to the Daau Pre-League for the first time in the 2007-08 season and was later relegated to the roblems. It returned to the top flight during the 2010-11 season due to financial problems. It returned to the top flight in the 2012-13 season and is currently still playing in the Super League.

Seragaan Football Club would need to find a quick solution to the current financial situation as the team was given a -6 points deduction in the league and a possible suspension of professional license. Adding on to the troubles off the field was the injury of main players such as Carl Wan and Jerson Ortega as both were out with long-term injuries. An emergency injection of Cr 10m from investors and members.
Manager Rafael Mendes replaced Tatsuma Yukinawa in March to no effect as the club finished at 11th place in the 2023–24 season, meaning the club had to play the Super League relegation playoffs which resulted in an aggregate 3-2 comeback loss to Catang Evergrande, signaling an end to the Seragaan FC Super League era as the club was relegated into the Daau Premier League. The club fell into financial troubles at the end of the season as Krasnovlac went into a nationwide collapse causing club owner Clovis Yio to lose all his funds due to financial troubles back home. The club's license was regained by SFC instead of operating as an individual entity seperate from the main multi-sport club. The football section partnered with the TEC Group to further youth development and financial support.
A high-flying 2024–25 season in the Premier League saw the Pirates gain promotion to the Daau Super League oncemore. The club would claim the Premier League championship title following a 2-1 comeback victory over Pasir Riz SC. Veteran Sulemana Rahman was voted as the Player's Player of The Season. Manager Rafael Mendes would depart the club after a successful promotion camapaign citing familial reasons.
Former Belaov City and Cheetahs XII manager Josip Ruiz was brought in for the 2025–26 season. A rocky start to the season saw Seragaan FC left behind in 12th, with relegation concerns due to a widespread virus leaving players out of action. Ruiz resigned from his role on the 11th of November due to health reasons, with him promising to return. Justin Watson was named as interim manager and led the team for 2 months before being signed away to manage Daau. The Pirates ended the season under the helm of promising young manager Tim van Haaralen, where they finished 6th due to a mid-season turnaround led by veteran Irfan Jaya and rookie Tyler Romanoff.
For the 2026–27 season, the Pirates negotiated with Bintang Lukana for an undisclosed deal to sign Tyler Romanoff and Nils Vandenmissen on a permanent basis. Josip Ruiz returned to the helm on 29th of October, replacing Tim van Haaralen, who was redesignated as the club's technical director.
Nickname
The club is nicknamed the Lions as the club plays its games near the Lion Rock in the Seragaan West Stadium.
Rivalries
Capital Derby
Prior to the Dauian reduction, SFC and Seragaan United were the two original teams based in Seragaan and thus shared the Capital derby, where Seragaan United were usually favourites and their squad depth far outweighed SFC at the time. The derby reflected the social standing of both the West and North side of the capital. As Seragaan FC represented the western, more industrial side of the city, while Seragaan United reflected the more posh and polished northern ends of Seragaan. Games of the Capital Derby usually end in brawls and scuffles as both sides have cultivated a hatred for each other over the years.
The relegation of Seragaan FC in 2024 only worsened the Lions standing. On their return to the Daau Super League in 2025, the first derby meeting and ended in a Lions victory courtesy of a Nasrullah Simao own goal. Veteran goalkeeper Lam Zhi Zhang threw hands with Blades captain Nasrullah Simao during the post-match cooldown, leading to a brawl.
