History

Founding

The club was formed in December 1983, and started out in 1984 as Lucky-Goldstar Hwangso, owned and financially supported by the LG Group (then Lucky-Goldstar Group), with Chungcheong region as its franchise. In the inaugural season, the club finished seventh out of the eight sides. The club fared better in 1985 when they won the Championship with the help of Thai international Piyapong Pue-On, who was the top goalscorer, as well as the league leader in assists. This article is about the year. ... LG redirects here. ... Chungcheong (Chungcheong-do) was one of the eight provinces of Korea during the Joseon Dynasty. ... This article is about the year. ... Piyapong Piew-on (also spelled Piyapong Pue-On) (Thai: ปิยะพงษ์ ผิวอ่อน) is a Thai footballer. ...


Move to Seoul and then to Anyang

At the start of 1990 season, the K-League, worried about financial stability of clubs, invited number of clubs to play in Seoul, the capital and the most populous city in South Korea. Thus, the Lucky-Goldstar Hwangso moved to Dongdaemun Stadium in Seoul at the beginning of 1990. The move proved to be a very good one, as the club finished the year as champions of K-League. The club changed its name to LG Cheetahs in 1991 after LG Twins, a professional baseball team owned by LG Group. After several seasons in Seoul, the club was forced to move in 1996, as part of K-League's decision to create strong regional basis for each club. For clubs located in Seoul, this meant a forced move, as the K-League banned clubs from claiming Seoul as their home, asserting that clubs based in the capital had the unfair advantage in drawing crowds compared to others and, thus, would harm any type of competition. As a result, the club moved to the city of Anyang, a satellite city of Seoul, and now was known as the Anyang LG Cheetahs. In the upcoming years, a solid base of supporters was formed, and it established a strong league rivalry with the Suwon Samsung Bluewings, partly fueled also by the fact that LG Group and Samsung Group, which owned the Suwon club, were also considered rivals in the business world, especially in electronics. The club continued to grow and in 2000, they won their third Championship, behind the firepower of striker Choi Yong-Soo. This article is about the year. ...

Third relocation to Seoul

For 2002 FIFA World Cup, in Korea and Japan, 10 brand new stadiums of World Cup standards were built in Korea. After the World Cup, the Korean World Cup Organizing Committee and the Korea Football Association (KFA) actively supported the move of regional K-League clubs into the new stadia, to avoid any financial losses by having to maintain a stadium in playing conditions without any income. However, due to the previous decision by the league to exclude any member club from being based in Seoul, Seoul World Cup Stadium remained vacant, except as a host of some international friendlies. Thus, the city government of Seoul and the KFA both actively sought for a K-League club to play at the stadium to avoid substantial financial losses. Initially, the idea was to create a new club, but when it was later learned that any club playing in Seoul World Cup Stadium would have to pay partially for the construction fees of the stadium, this proved very unlikely. Thus, the KFA tried to lure one of the current clubs to Seoul. Anyang LG Cheetahs, behind the financial backing of the LG Group, who not only viewed the move to Seoul as a way to increase its advertising presence, but has the right to come back to Seoul 'cause it was forcefully changed its franchise in 90's, announced in February 2004 that it would pay the share of the construction fees (which turned out to be 15 billion wons, or at that time 15 million USD). 2002 World Cup redirects here. ... The first governing body of Korean football was the Joseon Football Association, founded on 19 September 1933 as a direct imitation of the corresponding association of the Japanese colonialists. ... World Cup Stadium, Seoul The Seoul World Cup Stadium has been home to K-League club FC Seoul since 2004. ...


This proposed move provoked a significant amount of anger from the local supporters of the club, 'Anyang RED', resulting in series of demonstrations by the supporters, also the supporters of other clubs and 'Red Devil'. Further fueling the resistance was the general consensus of the South Korean public that football clubs need to have strong regional ties, not a simple marketing branch of a corporation that could be moved without agreement of the fans. However, the lure of the Seoul market was too great for the LG Group to avoid. Furthermore, the LG Group considered the move to Seoul as a "return" to Seoul, asserting that it is simply reclaiming what was taken away from them. Despite a strong supporter protest against move from fans of many other clubs, the move was finalised but the club had to relent somewhat, as the official name of the club was changed to FC Seoul, along with the promise that the LG Group would invest money into youth football in Seoul. The lack of the corporate identity in the club name was seen by the media as a huge compromise, since it is bound to lose certain marketability.

Therefore, when the newly formed FC Seoul took to the pitch to play their first game against Busan I'park on 3 April 2004, there were mixed emotions as thousands of fans mourned the loss of their former club.
Last week, however, the relatively new FC Seoul won their first trophy.  An away draw with Suwon Bluewings helped them claim the league cup.  Another title, the FA Cup, is also in their grasp as they reached the quarter-finals, thanks to a comfortable 3-1 win over Pohang Steelers.
Seoul's hopes of winning the title have undoubtedly been given a blow after losing two internationals : left-back Kim Dong-Jin and midfielder Baek Ji-Hoon to Zenit St. Petersburg and Suwon Bluewings respectively.  Nevertheless, Lee is confident that the current crop of young players in his squad are more than capable of filling the gap.
