Gyeongnam FC is a professional football club based in Changwon, South Korea, and competes in the K League 2. The club's home is the Changwon Football Center, a purpose-built football stadium. Founded in 2006, Gyeongnam's colors are red and black, and they are owned by the Gyeongsangnam-do provincial government. The club's peak era came in 2017 when, led by star striker Marcão, they won the K League 2 title in dramatic fashion and followed it up with a stunning runner-up finish in the K League 1 in 2018, also claiming the Korean FA Cup that same year. This period marked the club's greatest achievements, including appearances in the AFC Champions League. Following relegation, the modern-era Gyeongnam has been a perennial promotion contender in K League 2, boasting a strong squad that often includes prolific foreign attackers. They play an aggressive, front-foot style of football that makes them one of the most watchable teams in the division. The club enjoys strong support in the South Gyeongsang Province, with passionate fans creating a vibrant atmosphere. Gyeongnam FC remains a formidable force with ambitions of a swift return to the top flight.
