Ilhwa Chunma
Encyclopedia
Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma is a South Korean professional football
club, based in Seongnam
, South Korea
, that plays in the K-League
. Founded as Ilhwa Chunma Football Club in 1989, the club is the most successful in Korean football
, having won a record 7 league titles, 2 FA Cup
s, 3 League Cups
, and 2 AFC Champions League
titles.
Seongnam placed 5th in the IFFHS Asian Club of the 20th Century.
. The club was successful from its beginning, winning its first K-League Cup three years later in 1992 and winning three consecutive league titles from 1993 to 1995. But the club was forced to move in 1996, as part of the K-League's decentralization policy. This policy was carried out due to two reasons - the first reason was that the KFA
and the K-League
wanted to build a soccer-specific stadium
in Seoul and the second reason was that the KFA and the K-League wanted to spread football fever to the provinces. The three clubs based in Seoul - Ilhwa Chunma, LG Cheetahs
, Yukong Kokkiri didn't accept this policy, resulting in the Korean government giving eviction orders to the 3 clubs. However, they guaranteed if the clubs built a soccer-specific stadium in Seoul, they could have a Seoul franchise and then return to Seoul. As a result, three clubs were evicted from Seoul to other cities, Ilhwa Chunma moved to the city of Cheonan
and changed its name to Cheonan Ilhwa Chunma.
Several unsuccessful seasons followed, and when they finished at the bottom of the league for the second consecutive time in 1999, the club moved to the Seoul satellite city of Seongnam
and renamed themselves Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma.
The move worked out very well, as the rejuvenated club went on to win three consecutive K-League titles from 2001 to 2003.
A disappointing 2004 campaign saw them meekly relinquish their title. However, they reached the final of the 2004 AFC Champions League, where despite winning the away leg 3-1, they lost the home leg 5-0 to Saudi Arabia
n club Al-Ittihad and lost the tie 6-3 on aggregate.
The club bounced back to the forefront of Korean football in style as they claimed their seventh league title in 2006, defeating Suwon Samsung Bluewings
3-1 on aggregate in the championship playoff final. This was their 7th K-League title which is a record out of all the K-League clubs.
Before they were defeated by Suwon Bluewings 2-1 on 15 July 2007 in the 2007 season, they had not lost for 22 consecutive league matches - the third longest streak in the history of the K-League.
Seongnam reached the final of the 2007 K-League Championship
but were beaten 4-1 on aggregate by Pohang Steelers
, despite finishing first place in the regular season. This brought controversy about the playoffs system.
In 2008, they moved their home stadium to Seongnam 1 Stadium
for their summer season, due to the rebuilding of Tancheon Sports Complex
. However, due to the delay of the reconstruction of Tancheon Sports Complex they returned to their home stadium.
On 13 November 2010, Seongnam beat Iranian club Zob Ahan FC 3-1 in the final
of the 2010 AFC Champions League. This was their second AFC Champions League title and qualified them directly into the quarter finals stage of the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup
. Seongnam finished the tournament in 4th place.
. The colours have meanings as well; yellow means progressive attitude, red shows passion, and blue means the world as it is the colour of the sky.
's Unification Church
. Therefore, some Christians in Seongnam have been against the club, being hostile to the club's plans to construct a new stadium and a club house.
