History
IDSEA Champasak United was established in 2015, following the relocation of the previous Champasak based professional team SHB Champasak to Vientiane.[1]
The club was rebranded to Champasak Avenir in 2025 through a partnership between the Champasak Provincial Football Federation and Lee Dong Jun (DJ), the CEO of the South Korean company DJ Management. DJ spearheaded the project by establishing Connected Plus Co., Ltd. in Korea with several shareholders. This company then founded Connected Plus Sole Co., Ltd. in Laos, which is now the official operating entity of Champasak Avenir. The new management has a stated goal of winning the league and bringing a new level of professionalism to Laotian football. The club’s development process, from the acquisition to the selection of coaches and players, is being documented for a media project, including a documentary and a YouTube channel.[1]
