Seongnam FC is a historic and successful club in South Korean football, currently competing in the K League 2, the country's second division. Based in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, the team plays its home games at the Tancheon Sports Complex. The club was originally founded in 1989 as the corporate team of the Cheil Industries conglomerate, famously known as the Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma during its golden era. Their traditional colors are red and yellow. The team's history is illustrious, defined by a period of utter dominance in the 1990s and early 2000s. Under the ownership of the Unification Church, the club won a record seven K League titles between 1993 and 2006, establishing itself as a national powerhouse. This peak era featured legendary Korean players like Kim Do-hoon, Shin Tae-yong, and Saša Drakulić, and included a memorable run to the semifinals of the AFC Champions League in 1995. After transitioning to a citizen-owned club in 2014, the team has faced financial challenges and fluctuating fortunes, resulting in relegation to K League 2. The modern squad is a blend of experienced campaigners and promising youth, striving to return the club to its former glory. The fan base, known as the "Magpies," is passionate and proud, maintaining a strong atmosphere at the Tancheon despite the team's second-tier status. Seongnam FC remains a club with a rich trophy-laden history, now on a journey to rebuild and reclaim its place among Korea's elite.
