Gyeongnam FC (Hangul:경남 FC) is a South Korean professional football club based in Gyeongsangnam-do. Its home stadium is in Changwon, the capital of South Gyeongsang Province. Gyeongnam FC was founded in 2006 and joined the K League as its 14th club for the 2006 season.

History

2006 season

Gyeongnam FC reached 12th place in 2006 K League in their first season, and achieved third place in the Hauzen Cup.

2007 season

Under the manager Park Hang-seo, Gyeongnam FC finished fourth in 2007 K League, but were defeated by the Pohang Steelers in a penalty shootout in the first round of the play-offs. Playing for Gyeongnam, Cabore became that season's K League top scorer with 18 goals in 26 matches. Also, he recorded continuous attack points during eight league matches. When he suddenly moved to FC Tokyo, Gyeongnam FC no longer did so well, and manager Park Hang-seo chief executive Jeon Hyung-doo left immediately.

2008 season

Before the start of the 2008 season, Cho Kwang-rae was appointed as manager. The newly signed Seo Sang-min was a valuable player, and Brazilian attacking midfielder Índio filled the gap left by Cabore. The team failed to reach the playoff by losing to Jeonbuk Motors in the last match of 2008 K League. They reached the Korean FA Cup 2008 final thanks to Kim Dong-chan's continuous scoring, including a hat-trick in the semi-final, but they were defeated by the Pohang Steelers, thus failing to enter the AFC Champions League.

2009 season

In January 2009, Kim Jin-yong transferred to Seongnam Ilhwa, and Kim Dong-hyun, a member of the South Korean national football team, replaced him. In the 2009 season, former South Korean international goalkeeper Kim Byung-ji joined the club, and manager Cho signed many young players.

2010 season

In 2010 Gyeongnam moved from the Changwon Civil Stadium to Changwon Football Center. With Kim Young-woo as the new captain, they won the K-League – the first top position in their history. Cho left in the middle of the season, but the team continued to perform well under caretaker manager Kim Gwi-hwa. Yoon Bit-garam recorded nine goals and seven assists in 29 matches to take the K-League Best XI and K-League Rookie of the Year Award.

2013 season

On 12 May 2013, Gyeongnam FC achieved its 100th victory in the K League after defeating Daegu FC.[1]

2014 season

Gyeongnam FC relegated to K League Challenge.

2017 season

Gyeongnam FC won the K League Challenge title and was promoted to the K League 1.

2018 season

Gyeongnam FC finished 2nd place in K League 1, and was eligible for Asian Champions League.

2019 season

Gyeongnam FC finished 11th place in K League 1 and was relegated to K League 2. Gyeongnam FC's manager Kim Jong-Boo resigned as a result.[2] Seol Ki-Hyun was appointed as the new manager to lead the team in the 2020 season.[3]
