corporation.
Originally called Daewoo Royals Football Club, the side finished second in the 1983 K-League
Championship behind winners Hallelujah FC
.
The newly-named team lifted the Championship in 1984, and again in 1987 & 1991.
Their greatest triumph was winning the Asian Club Championship in 1986, when they defeated Al-Ahly 3-1 in the final.
At the end of 1995 when K-League sides were 'localizing', they adopted the name Pusan Daewoo Royals and in 1997 lifted their fourth Korean championship.
After the Daewoo corporation suffered major financial difficulties in the late 90s, the team was acquired by I'Park construction, the domestic construction division of Hyundai

Busan endured a few lean seasons entering the 2000s, but in 2004 Scottish
manager Ian Porterfield led the team to FA Cup
victory. Just six months later the team continued to show its improved form, claiming the first stage of the 2005 K-League Championship. The club struggled to maintain their form in the second stage of the league finishing dead last, eventually losing out to Incheon United
in the championship playoff. Despite struggling domestically, Busan reached the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League
