Stallion Laguna Football Club is a Filipino professional association football club based in Biñan, Laguna that is set to play in the Philippines Football League, the top flight of Philippine club football.
In 2002, the club was founded as Stallion Football Club. The club competed in the Metro Manila-based United Football League, earning promotion to Division 1 after finishing as runners-up in the 2011 season. The club proceeded to compete in the UFL Division 1 from 2012 to 2016, winning one United Football League title and one UFL Cup, both in the 2012-2013 UFL season.
Originally based in Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo, the club moved to the Biñan Football Stadium in Biñan, Laguna in 2016, when the club formally submitted its application to join the Philippines Football League, the first true national football league in the Philippines.
In 2002, a group of football enthusiasts from Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo thought of establishing a club that would regularly compete in football tournaments held in the town. The name of the club was conceptualized during a drinking session where most of the group were drinking Red Horse Stallion Beer. Realizing that the town's folklore hero is Tamasak, a pure white Stallion known for its strength, the group decided to use the name Stallion Football Club.
The club made its debut in the Barotac Nuevo Football Club (BNFC) Seven-a-Side Football Tournament. Stallion continued to participate in numerous major and minor football competitions throughout the years, including the Siniki Football Festival and other tournaments in Cebu, Boracay, Subic, Metro Manila and Capiz.
