Yadanarbon Football Club (Burmese: ရတနာပုံ ဘောလုံး အသင်း [jədənàbòʊɰ̃]) is a Burmese professional football club based at the Bahtoo Stadium in Mandalay. The club was a founding member of the Myanmar National League in 2009.

Yadanarbon FC was one of the founding clubs of the Myanmar National League and quickly became one of the most successful teams in the competition. The club won the first MNL Cup in 2009 and followed it by winning the league title in the same year. Yadanarbon later won additional league titles in 2010, 2014, and 2016.

In 2010, Yadanarbon became the first club from Myanmar to win a continental competition, the AFC President's Cup.^[1] The club has also contributed several players to the Myanmar national team and is known for its youth development. Yadanarbon has a long-standing rivalry with Yangon United.

Following the 2016 season, the club experienced a decline in performance after the departure of several key players. Yadanarbon became a mid-table team and did not challenge for the league title in the subsequent seasons.

Ahead of the 2026–27 Myanmar National League season, the club changed ownership after 16 years under its previous management. The new owner announced plans to rebuild and reorganize the club. Sai Sam Tun^[2] retired from his role as the owner of Yadanarbon.

Yadanarbon plays its home matches at Bahtoo Stadium, located in Mandalay, Myanmar. The stadium is a multi-purpose venue and is primarily used for football matches. It serves as the home ground of Yadanarbon and has hosted Myanmar National League matches since the club’s establishment.
