Career & Clubs
Founding and early years (1983–1989)
FC Seoul held an official founding ceremony on December 22, 1983, following the official announcement of its founding in August of that year. The club was initially named Lucky-Goldstar Hwangso Football Club. Owned and financially supported by the Lucky-Goldstar Group, it became the fifth professional football team in South Korea. The founding hometown was assigned to Chungcheong Province, and its mascot became a bull. To establish a professional football club, the Lucky-Goldstar Group had a preparatory period since 1982 and requested that the franchise be located in Seoul. In the 1984 season, the club finished seventh out of eight clubs. It fared better in the 1985 season, winning the league title with the help of Thai international Piyapong Pue-on, who was the league's top scorer as well as the top assist provider.
Moving to Seoul and then to Anyang (1990–2003)
From the beginning of 1988, Lucky-Goldstar Hwangso pushed forward a relocation to Seoul. At the end of the 1989 season, the Korea Professional Football League (renamed as the K League in 1998), worried about the financial stability of the clubs, invited a number of clubs to play in Seoul. Thus, the Lucky-Goldstar Hwangso, which had always wanted to be based in the capital, moved to Seoul Stadium (currently Dongdaemun Stadium) in Seoul at the end of 1989. The club finished its first season in Seoul as champions. The club changed its name to LG Cheetahs in 1991…
