History
Wellington Football Club was founded in 1988 as a splinter group of Delhi Juniors (a team of Singaporean football enthusiasts, dating back to the 1940s, that were among the pioneers of football in Singapore). In 1991, they participated in the Sembawang Group League and National Island-Wide League, winning as champions in both competitions and setting a national record by beating Seletar Football Club by a 27-goal margin. The following year, the Rams joined the National Football League and were placed in Division II, from which they were promoted as champions in 1994. 1995 saw unprecedented success, as they finished first in Division I (going unbeaten for 24 matches) and were FA Cup runners-up. Their convincing displays led to their selection as one of eight clubs to compete in the newly-formed S.League, prompting the club to move to Woodlands and change name to Woodlands Wellington Football Club.[1]
