Seoul Nowon United FC (Korean: 서울 노원 유나이티드 FC) (formerly known as Seoul United FC) is a South Korean semi-professional football club based in Nowon District, Seoul. It currently competes in the fourth tier of the South Korean football league system, the K4 League. Until 2018, the club was named Seoul United FC.
History
Founding
The movement to create Seoul United FC began in 2001, with Michael Atkinson and a group of supporters setting 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 Bu&Bu (Good Friend) and Youngseo FC (Jin Seoul), were merged to create the new club and the home venue of Seoul Olympic Stadium was chosen. For the 2010 season the team moved to Hyochang Stadium in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. In 2011 the team relocated again to the smaller Nowon Madeul Stadium in Nowon District, Seoul.
Entry into the league system
The club's first ever match was played on April 21, 2007, a 2–2 home draw with Changwon Dudae FC.
The inaugural K3-League season ended with the club clinching the first ever K3 League title after a 3–0 aggregate victory over Hwasung Sinwoo Electronics in the championship playoffs.
El club fue fundado en 1984 como el Nowon-gu FC, y originalmente jugaba en la liga semiprofesional de Corea del Sur, la Korea National League. En 1990, el club fue ascendido a la K League, la máxima división del fútbol de Corea del Sur, donde permaneció hasta 1994. Después de descender a la K League 2, el club pasó varios años en la segunda división antes de ascender de nuevo a la K League 1 en 2010.
El Seúl Nowon United FC ha ganado un título de la K League 2 en 2010, y también ha participado en la Copa de la Liga de Corea del Sur y en la Copa FA de Corea del Sur.
Los colores tradicionales del club son el azul y el blanco, y juegan sus partidos en casa en el Nowon Stadium, que tiene una capacidad de 15.550 espectadores.
