History
Early in 2025 Yongin mayor Lee Sang-il announced his intention to launch a professional football team in the city.[2] The commitment was ratified in May 2025 and Kim Jin-hyung was appointed as chairman.[3][4] The club subsequently appointed Choi Yun-kyum as Yongin FC's first manager and Lee Dong-gook as technical director.[5][6][7]
In August 2025, the club received approval to join the K League, confirming its intention to participate in the 2026 K League 2.[8] Ahead of the 2026 season, technical director Lee stated that the club aimed to "survive in midtable" in its first two years before making a push for a chance at promotion to K League 1 by 2030.[9] On 16 January 2026, Yongin FC officially confirmed its participation in K League 2 following the final approval of its K League membership.[10]
On March 1st, 2026, Yongin played its first ever game in K League 2, drawing 2–2 against Cheonan City with a penalty brace scored by club striker Gabriel Tigrão.[11]
Club identity
In September 2025, Yongin FC revealed a shortlist of four emblems being considered for the club's badge, incorporating a dragon's head, symbolic of Yongin City.[12] The designs were criticised for being overly simplistic and lacking relevance to the local area, with football fans taking to online forums to post their own designs.[13] The team colours are "Blood of Mireu Red" (claret) and "Celestial Blue" (sky blue).[14]
Stadium
Yongin FC's home ground is Yongin Mireu Stadium, a multi-purpose stadium on the outskirts of the city.[15][16] The stadium was built in 2017, opened in 2018 and has a capacity of 37,155.[17][18] The club's operations are based at the Yongin Football Center.[2]
