Sangju Sangmu FC (Korean: 상주 상무 프로축구단), is a professional football club that plays in the K League Classic. The club is based in Sangju, South Korea. Sangmu (상무, 尙武) is the sports division of the Military of South Korea. The club officially removed the word "Phoenix" in its name since 2013. The club's mascot is the Bulsajo, which translates to "Phoenix" in English. The club's hometown was moved from Gwangju to Sangju, Gyeongsangbuk-do after Gwangju founded the new professional club Gwangju FC in 2011.

History

Origin - Army FC, Navy FC, Air Force FC era (?-1983)

There were ROK Army FC, ROK Navy FC, ROK Air Force FC until 1983 in Korea. ROK Marine Corps FC became ROK Navy FC in 1973. The 3 military football clubs were consolidated into one, football side of Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps in January 1984.

Founding and Sangmu Semi-professional FC era (1984–2002)

Sangmu FC was founded on 11 January 1984, as the football side of Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps.[2][3] Although Sangmu squad was composed of professional players from K-League club, Sangmu FC competed in the Semi-professional league (present Korea National League). In 1985 Sangmu joined the K-League for the 1985 season, but spent only one year in the league before dropping out.

Sangmu's playing staff is made up of young Korean professional footballers serving their compulsory two year military duty. Fifteen players join up at the start of every season and spend two years with the side before returning to their previous professional club. Sangmu are not allowed to sign any foreign players because of their military status. The military nature of the club means that the overwhelming majority of the players are in their early 20s, and thus lack the playing experience of the opponents. As a consequence, the club has historically been underachievers in the K-League.

The reserve side, Sangmu B, competed in the K2 League from 2003 to 2005 before joining the K-League reserve league. It finished runners-up in the 2003 K2 League season, and was based in Icheon for the three years it competed at K2 level.

Gwangju Sangmu FC era (2003–2010)

After establishing a home base in Gwangju, the club rejoined the K-League at the start of the 2003 season as Gwangju Sangmu Bulsajo. Since 2004, the club has been known as Gwangju Sangmu FC.

Sangju Sangmu FC era (2011–present)

Once Gwangju FC was established, Gwangju Sangmu FC moved to Sangju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, as Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps moved to Mungyeong, near Sangju. The club name was officially changed to Sangju Sangmu Phoenix FC in January 2010.[4] Since the 2011 season, the club has participated as Sangju Sangmu Phoenix FC.[5]

After winning the inaugural season of the 2013 K-League Challenge and winning the first ever K-League promotion-relegation playoffs against Gangwon FC, who finished third from the bottom of the 2013 K-League Classic, Sangju Sangmu was promoted to the South Korea's top-tier league.[6][7]
