Makoto Nakamura Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 FC Seouls a South Korean professional football club based in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, that plays in the K League 1. The club is owned by GS Sports, a subsidiary of GS Group. The club was officially founded as Lucky-Goldstar Football Club in 1983, by the Lucky-Goldstar Group. FC Seoul have won six League titles, two FA Cups, two League Cups and one Super Cup. FC Seoul is one of the most successful and popular clubs in the K League 1, with financial backing from the GS Group.In 2012, FC Seoul was evaluated as the most valuable football brand in the K League. The board still expect me to win the league...we're 22 point behind Ulsan, yikes. We have a VERY young team! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
