Wikipedia - Changnyeong WFC

Changnyeong Women's Football Club (Korean: 창녕 WFC) is a South Korean women's football team based in Changnyeong County. The team joined the WK League, the top division of women's football in South Korea, in 2018.

History

Foundation

The foundation of a new women's football team to be based in Changnyeong County was announced in late 2017, with the objective of developing women's football and maintaining the eight-team system in the WK League following the dissolution of Icheon Daekyo. Former Icheon manager Shin Sang-woo was appointed as Changnyeong WFC's first manager, and the Korean Women's Football Federation allowed the club two priority picks at the beginning of the 2018 WK League draft. Thanks to this special consideration, the newly established club was able to sign two of the most sought-after talents in the draft, South Korea internationals Son Hwa-yeon and Hong Hye-ji, along with seven other rookie draftees. Changnyeong also acquired three former Icheon players, three free agents and a small number of other rookies, starting their first league season with a squad of only 19 players.

Changnyeong played their first league match away against Suwon FMC. Their first home match took place on 30 April 2018 against Incheon Hyundai Steel.

Poor performance and financial difficulties

After finishing at the bottom of the league for two years in a row, the club attempted to bolster its squad ahead of the 2020 season, recruiting a number of experienced players including former Japan international Nanase Kiryu. The influx of talent helped the team reach their highest ever finish, ending the season in fifth place. However, Changnyeong were unable to build on this momentum, scoring only nine points to finish bottom of the table once again in 2021. The trend of poor performance continued as the club faced increasing financial pressure. Despite increased financial contributions from Changnyeong County, subsidies provided by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to the Korean Women's Football Federation to fund league operations steadily decreased from 2021 to 2023. In 2024, with the existence of the league itself under threat, Changnyeong WFC's future was also called into question due to financial difficulties and low attendance. Even the signing of star striker and South Korea international Lee Eun-young was not enough to save Changnyeong from eighth place in the league, and the lowest attendance of all WK League clubs in 2024.
