Khaan Khuns-Erchim Football Club (Mongolian: "Хаан Хүнс-Эрчим" Хөлбөмбөгийн Клуб) is a professional football club from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia who have been playing in the Mongolian Premier League, which they have won ten times,[2] since its inaugural year in 1996.[1] The Mongolian Football Federation applied to enter the 2012 AFC President's Cup,[3] and was approved by the AFC in November 2011.[4][5] As winners of the 2012 Super Cup, Erchim were awarded the place in the competition.[4] In 2017 the club qualified for the AFC Cup, becoming the first Mongolian club to do so.[6]
While most of other Ulaanbaatar clubs share the MFF Football Centre, Erchim was the first one to have its own stadium.[7] In 2020 the club merged with Khaan Khuns Titem, to establish Khaan Khuns - Erchim FC.[8]
