The club started in 1983 as Lucky-Goldstar Football Club. It was founded by the Lucky-Goldstar Group. In 1990, it changed its name to LG Cheetahs. Because of a rule in 1996, the club had to move to Anyang for eight years. They returned to Seoul in 2004. FC Seoul has won six K League titles, two FA Cups, two League Cups, and one Super Cup. They also reached the AFC Champions League final twice, in 2001–02 and 2013.

FC Seoul is one of the most successful and popular clubs in the K League 1. They have strong financial support from the GS Group. In 2012, they were named the most valuable football brand in the K League. Their biggest rivals are Suwon Samsung Bluewings. Their matches against them are called the Super Match.

History

Starting Years (1983–1989)

FC Seoul officially began on August 18, 1983. They started playing in 1984 as Lucky-Goldstar Football Club. The Lucky-Goldstar Group (now LG Group) owned and supported the club. Their home area was Chungcheong Province, and their mascot was a bull (Hwangso).

In their first season in 1984, the club finished seventh. But in 1985, they won the championship! This was thanks to Thailand national football team player Piyapong Pue-on. He was the top scorer and top assister that season.

Moving to Seoul and Anyang (1990–2003)

By 1988, Lucky-Goldstar Hwangso wanted to move to Seoul. At the end of the 1989 season, the K League invited clubs to play in Seoul. So, Lucky-Goldstar Hwangso moved to Seoul Stadium (now Dongdaemun Stadium) in Seoul.

The club won the championship in their first season in Seoul. In 1991, they changed their name to LG Cheetahs. This was to match the LG Twins, a baseball team also owned by LG Group. In 1996, the club had to move again. This was part of the K League's plan to spread football to other parts of the country. The government even ordered the clubs to move. However, they promised that if clubs built a new stadium in Seoul, they could return.

LG Cheetahs moved to Anyang, a city near Seoul. They became the Anyang LG Cheetahs. During this time, they gained many fans. They also developed a big rivalry with the Suwon Samsung Bluewings. This rivalry was strong because LG Group and Samsung Group were business rivals. In 2000, the club won their third championship, led by striker Choi Yong-Soo.

Returning to Seoul (2004–2006)

After the 2002 FIFA World Cup in South Korea and Japan, many new stadiums were built. The Seoul World Cup Stadium was empty. The city of Seoul and the KFA wanted a K League club to play there. This would help cover the stadium's costs.

Anyang LG Cheetahs decided to move back to Seoul. They had the right to return because they were forced to leave in 1996. They agreed to pay part of the stadium's building costs. This move caused some debate among fans. But in the end, the KFA allowed Anyang LG Cheetahs to move. They changed their name to FC Seoul.

Şenol Güneş Era (2007–2009)

Şenol Güneş became FC Seoul's manager on December 8, 2006. In the 2007 season, the club started strong. They had three wins and one draw, including a 4–1 victory over rivals Suwon Samsung Bluewings. They reached the final of the 2007 Korean League Cup. Before the next season, star player Park Chu-young moved to a French club.

FC Seoul finished second in the 2008 regular season. They made it to the play-offs but lost to Suwon Samsung Bluewings in the final. Still, they qualified for the 2009 AFC Champions League. During that season, Dejan Damjanović scored 15 goals.

In the 2009 AFC Champions League, FC Seoul won their first game. They then struggled but managed to reach the Round of 16. They beat Kashima Antlers in a penalty shootout to reach the quarter-finals. However, they lost to Qatari club Umm Salal. This was their first time in the AFC Champions League since the older Asian Club Championship. Şenol Güneş left the club on November 25, 2009.

Winning the K League and League Cup (2010)

FC Seoul hired Nelo Vingada as manager on December 14, 2009. Vingada led FC Seoul to win both the K League and the League Cup in 2010. Under his leadership, FC Seoul won 20 games, drew 2, and lost 6 in the league.

On May 5, 2010, FC Seoul had 60,747 fans at the Seoul World Cup Stadium. This was the highest attendance for a single game in South Korean professional sports history! They also set a record for total season attendance with 546,397 fans.

On August 25, 2010, FC Seoul beat Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors 3–0 to win the League Cup. They then became K League champions by defeating Jeju United. This was the first time the club won two major titles in one season. The final game had 56,769 fans, another record. Vingada left the club on December 13, 2010, after not agreeing on a new contract.

AFC Champions League Final and Sixth K League Title (2011–2016)

Former FC Seoul player Choi Yong-soo became the club's manager in 2012. He had been an assistant and temporary manager before. In 2013, FC Seoul reached the AFC Champions League Final. They lost to Chinese team Guangzhou Evergrande because of the away goals rule. Choi Yong-soo won the 2013 AFC Coach of the Year award for his work. He left the club in June 2016.

On June 21, 2016, Hwang Sun-hong became the new manager. On November 6, 2016, FC Seoul won their sixth K League title. They beat Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors 1–0 in the last game of the season.

Recent Years (2017–present)

Hwang Sun-hong resigned on April 30, 2018. In the 2018 season, FC Seoul finished 11th. This meant they had to play in the K League promotion-relegation playoffs for the first time. They won against Busan IPark and stayed in the top league.

On October 11, 2018, Choi Yong-soo returned as manager. He had managed the club from 2011 to 2016.

In the 2020 season, FC Seoul lost five games in a row. This had not happened in 22 years. After Choi Yong-soo left again, several temporary managers took over. The team finished ninth in the K League. They started well in the 2020 AFC Champions League, even winning 5–0 against Chiangrai United. But they lost their last three matches and were out of the tournament. The season was also sad because defender Kim Nam-chun passed away on October 30, 2020.

FC Seoul has many different fans. These include fans from when the club was called Lucky-Goldstar, LG Cheetahs, and Anyang LG Cheetahs. The club's number-12 shirt is saved for the supporters, who are like the "12th man" on the field. The main fan group is called Suhoshin, which means "guardian deity." It started in April 2004.

V-Girls and V-Man

V-Girls and V-Man are FC Seoul's cheerleaders. The "V" stands for victory. They cheer for the team at the East Stand of the stadium.

Stadiums

Seoul World Cup Stadium in 2017

Since 2004, FC Seoul's home stadium has been the Seoul World Cup Stadium. It is the biggest football-only stadium in Asia. FC Seoul players train at the GS Champions Park training center. This special facility opened in 1989 and is located in Guri, east of Seoul.

In the past, FC Seoul played at other stadiums. These included Daejeon Stadium, Cheongju Civic Stadium, Cheonan Oryong Stadium, Dongdaemun Stadium, and Anyang Stadium.

Crests and mascots

FC Seoul has had different names and logos over the years. These include Lucky-Goldstar FC (1983–1990), LG Cheetahs (1991–1995), and Anyang LG Cheetahs (1996–2003).

The club has also had different mascots. In the past, they had a bull and a cheetah. The club's current mascot, introduced in 2004, is named "SSID."

"SSID" means Seoul & Sun In Dream. In the 2018 season, FC Seoul added another mascot called "Seoul-i."

A special logo was used in 2003 for the club's 20th anniversary. The current logo has been used since 2004.

Kits

FC Seoul's home kits have red and black stripes, just like their club logo.

In 1984 and 1985, FC Seoul wore both red and yellow kits for home games.

From 1988 to 1994, the main color of the home shirt was yellow. This was the same as the Lucky-Goldstar Group's company color at that time.

In 1995, the Lucky-Goldstar Group changed its company color to red. So, FC Seoul's jersey color also changed from yellow to red.

From 1999 to 2001, FC Seoul wore red and blue stripes. But in 2002, they went back to all red. In 2005, FC Seoul changed to red and black stripes, which they still use today.

In June 2016, FC Seoul released a retro jersey from 1984–1985. This was to celebrate the club's founding and first K League title.
