[edit] History

[edit] Founding

The club was founded on 22 December 1983, and started out in 1984 as Lucky-Goldstar Hwangso Football Club^[1], owned and financially supported by the Lucky-Goldstar Group (now LG Group), with Chungcheong region as its franchise. In order to launch the professional football club, Lucky-Goldstar Group had a preparation period from 1982 ^[1] and demanded that original franchise should be Seoul.^[2] In the 1984 season, the club finished seventh out of the eight clubs. 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.
^[1] Hwangso means bull

[edit] Move to Seoul and then to Anyang

At the start of the 1990 season, the K-League, worried about the financial stability of the clubs, invited a number of clubs to play in Seoul, the capital and 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 the 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 a strong regional identity 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 was now 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.

[edit] Franchising to Seoul

For the 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. The 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 had the right to come back to Seoul because it had its franchise moved by force in the 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).^[3]

This proposed move provoked a significant amount of anger from the local supporters of the club, 'Anyang RED', resulting in a 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 the move from fans of many other clubs, the move was finalised but the club had to compromise 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.

[edit] Seoul–Suwon derby

The Seoul–Suwon derby's origin is the Anyang–Suwon derby (Jijidae Derby). Anyang was a part of LG Electronics and Suwon was a part of Samsung Electronics. They were the biggest rivals in their market. On the day of the Jijidae derby, the chairmen of both sides came to watch this game. So spontaneously people considered it to be a rivalry. In 2004, Anyang moved to Seoul. Fans thought the derby between LG and Samsung was gone. But it was still considered the biggest event of the K-League by the news media. Also the fans of FC Seoul and Suwon Samsung have a very bad relationship. So the new derby between Seoul and Suwon started. Now it is the biggest derby of the K-League. The Seoul–Suwon derby recorded an attendance of 55,397 on 8 April 2007, the biggest record of South Korean professional sports history.^[4] FC Seoul also has a derby with Incheon United.

[edit] Şenol Güneş period (2007–2009)

Şenol Güneş has led FC Seoul since 8 December, 2006.^[5] The opening part was fantastic. FC Seoul won every match and the biggest result was the victory in the Seoul–Suwon Derby. FC Seoul defeated Suwon Samsung with the result of 4–1.^[6] But the nightmare of injury was started. After the draw with Gwangju Sangmu, Seoul couldn't score and was defeated by Suwon Samsung. 80% of the regulars were injured. FC Seoul failed to enter into the play-off after all, but they succeeded in getting into the final of the League Cup. The second season was different. There were no big injuries and although Park Joo-Young, the ace of FC Seoul, transferred to AS Monaco, the double dragons of FC Seoul (Ki Sung-Yong, Lee Chung-Yong) made big progress and Dejan Damjanović scored 14 goals so they could end the league as second. FC Seoul defeated Ulsan Hyundai in the play-off semi-final but was defeated by Suwon in the final. But they advanced into the AFC Champions League.^[7]. Şenol Güneş period was over on 25 November, 2009^[8].

[edit] AFC Champions League 2009

FC Seoul had its first appearance in the AFC Champions League in 2009. They won their first match in the league against Sriwijaya FC. After showing poor form in several matches after that, it looked impossible for Seoul to qualify for the second round, but a dramatic come-from-behind victory over reigning champion Gamba Osaka and Sriwijaya's unexpected victory over Shandong Luneng enabled them to advance to the second round with taking second place in Group F. On 24 June 2009, they beat the Kashima Antlers in the Round of 16 and went on to the quarterfinal.^[9]

[edit] Nelo Vingada period (2009-)

On December 14, 2009, FC Seoul appointed Nelo Vingada to the manager.
