Seoul United is a South Korean soccer club based in the city of Seoul. It is currently a member of the K3 League, an amateur league and the third tier of league football in South Korea.

Club History

The movement to create Seoul United began in 2001 as a group of supporters set about bringing professional football back to the city of Seoul, following the K-League's decision to relocate the then-capital clubs to other cities.

The movement suffered a setback at the end of 2003 when LG moved their Anyang LG Cheetahs club from Anyang to Seoul, becoming FC Seoul and taking up residence at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Despite this, the fan push continued and the establishment of the K3 League in 2007 gave a realistic opportunity for involvement in the league set-up. Two amateur sides, Good Friend and Jin Seoul, were merged to create the new club and the home venue of Seoul Olympic Main Stadium was chosen.

The team's first ever match was played on April 21st 2007, a 2-2 home draw with Changwon Dudae FC, and the season ended with the club clinching the first ever K3 League title thanks to a 3-1 aggregate victory over Hwasung Sinwoo Electronics in the championship playoffs.
