football club

At the prison term of its foundation in 1997, Daejeon Citizen was the foremost residential district clubhouse in South Korea, not belonging to any company. The cabaret foremost entered the K League for the 1997 season, finishing in one-seventh invest. In cattiness of a limited budget, Daejeon won the 2001 Korean FA Cup. It has not achieved hold success in the K League, historically occupying the in-between and lower reaches of the standings each temper. At the conclusion of the 2013 season, Daejeon was relegated to the K League Challenge, the second-tier league.

history [edit ]

first steps into the K League [edit ]

Following the foundation of the professional football league ( the Korean Super League, reorganised as the K League in 1998 ) in Korea, there were few league matches held in Daejeon, and such matches that were held were played by visiting clubs. The absence of a local anesthetic team in the league made it difficult for the citizens of Daejeon to identify with any particular team. however, in 1996 a plan to establish ‘Daejeon Citizen ‘ – their own local residential district club – was unveiled, which meant Daejeon citizens would have their own team to support in the league. generally in Korea, ‘community-club ‘ means that the baseball club issues shares. In the case of Daejeon, although shares were n’t issued until 2005 ( and the issue of shares continued into 2006 ), they were already known as a “ community club ”. Daejeon was the foremost club that did not belong to a specific company such as one of the ‘chaebols ‘ ( Samsung, LG or the like ) or another major ship’s company. This has a very emblematic intend as basically the club is founded upon the support of the local anesthetic community rather than a specific company.

Kim Ki-Bok, now vice-president of Korea National League ( “ National League ”, the second division ), was appointed the beginning coach of Daejeon Citizen. With high expectations, Daejeon took their first gear footprint to the K League in 1997 ( at the clock time, the K League was known as the Rapido Super League ), opening their season with a match against Ulsan Hyundai Horang-i. however, the results achieved in their inaugural season did not live up to their high expectations for their inaugural season. Although the club placed 7th in the league, ahead of Cheonan, Angyang and Bucheon, only three matches ( out of 18 ) were won .

The IMF Crisis [edit ]

In 1998, a major economic crisis necessitated IMF treatment in the south korean economy – this menstruation of time is normally referred to as the “ IMF crisis ” in South Korea. [ 2 ] As a consequence a number of companies, including some considered to be “ Chaebol ” went bankrupt, and there was widespread unemployment. Daejeon Citizen did not escape this crisis unscathed. The independent board of Daejeon consisted of 4 groups – Kyeryong Construction Industrial, Dong-A Construction, DongYang Department Store and Chung-cheong Bank. But as a consequence of the IMF crisis, three of the four groups went bankrupt, leaving Kyeryong as the only survivor of the original board. There was a subsequent impingement on the degree of fiscal and management hold provided to the club. This made for a particularly unmanageable season in the 1998 season of the K League. Again, only three games were won, but this clock Daejeon finished 9th in the league, ahead of only Cheonan Ilhwa Chunma. The postdate class, 1999, Daejeon improved their succeed record to six victories. however, changes in the K League structure since the former year meant that an extra 9 games were played, 27 in total, from the previous season. There were a full of 18 losses, the worst in the league. Despite this, Daejeon improved to 8th out of 10 clubs. little progress was made in the FA and league cups. For the 2000 season, Daejeon maintained its 8th position in the league .

On the verge of disappearing [edit ]

For the 2001 season, Lee Tae-Ho was appointed coach, and promptly took Daejeon Citizen ‘s first base while of silverware, leading Daejeon to victory in the FA Cup. The decisive goal of the FA Cup final came from Kim Eun-Jung, which gave the team a one-nil victory over the Pohang Steelers. Due to this succeed, Daejeon besides qualified to the 2002–03 AFC Champions League for the first time. This helped compensate for their poor operation in the K League, in which they finished 10th and last, even on points with Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors but with an inferior finish derived function. South Korea was a co-host of the 2002 FIFA Football World Cup, with Daejeon as one of the server cities. The city constructed a sword newly stadium for the World Cup, and following the stopping point of the tournament, Daejeon Citizen changed stadiums. The shift key from their early stadium, Daejeon Hanbat Stadium, to Daejeon World Cup Stadium meant the golf club not only benefited from the new facilities, but besides the greater capacity of the stadium. unfortunately, Daejeon ‘s inadequate league operation from the former year was carried into the 2002 temper, and the club finished last again, and by some margin, having won but a individual game throughout the temper. Lee Tae-Ho finally resigned taking duty for the hapless results. however, more creditable results were achieved in the AFC Champions League. Although they did not make go beyond the group phase, they did finish 2nd in the group, beating both Shanghai Shenhua and Kashima Antlers. Their only loss was to the eventual group winner and overall runner-up, Thai clubhouse BEC Tero Sasana. In other changes for 2002, the key fiscal athletic supporter of the club – Kyeryong, which with their support ensured that Daejeon Citizen would survive the IMF crisis – declared that they would withdraw from the club ‘s board. Daejeon City Hall decided to give fiscal support to the baseball club. This ensured the club would survive to participate in the 2003 season .
The 2003 season proved to be memorable for Daejeon fans. Choi Yun-Gyeom, previously coach at Bucheon SK ( now Jeju United ), was appointed director to replace Lee Tae-ho who had resigned in the wake of the cabaret ‘s black 2002 season. Choi, in the first place from Daejeon, willingly came bet on to his hometown. Choi promptly inspired the team and completely changed its dynamics by implementing the 4–3–3 formation. The result was a near heaven-sent recovery from 2002, and he, together with Daejeon Citizen, coined the catchphrase “ miracle 2003 ”. Daejeon Citizen finished the 2003 season in 6th place, its best coating ever in the league, having won 18 of 44 games. Its place of 6th was even more meritorious as the K League had expanded to 12 teams, with Daegu FC and Gwangju Sangmu Phoenix entering the competition for the beginning time. At the like, Daejeon improved its median dwelling plot attendance to about 19,000. It proved difficult for the club to maintain its performance into 2004. A lack of affect might at the attacking end of the field left the club with the worst offensive read of all the clubs in the K League, scoring 18 goals in 24 games ( eventual champions Suwon scored 31 ). Daejeon slipped to 10th out of 13 teams, Incheon United nowadays participating in the league. however, they did make it to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, going down to eventual runner-up, Bucheon SK. Daejeon besides finished stolon up in the Hauzen Cup, behind only Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma. The miss of penetration continued to be debatable into the 2005 season, with the cabaret maintaining its record as the worst nauseating side in the league, with only 19 goals scored in 24 games. The following best teams ( Chunnam and Gwangju ) scored 23 goals, and the best unsavory side was Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma, with 40 goals scored in the regular season ( the K League had been reorganised in 2004 to have a play-off phase after completion of a regular season ). however, superb defense saw lone 20 goals conceded ( best defensive record in the league ) ensuring that Daejeon finished 7th in the regular temper, having lost only six games. In the 2005 cup competitions, the FA Cup and the League Cup, Daejeon failed to progress to the quarterfinal stage. Daejeon repeated its place of 2004, finishing the even temper in 10th out of 15, with Gyeongnam FC entering the K League for the first time in 2006. Goal scoring had improved, with brazilian import Denilson sport among the top scorers of the league, with 7 goals. average to middling results were achieved in the cup competitions.

Play-off reservation 2007 [edit ]

Daejeon achieved what originally appeared by midseason at least, to be a highly unlikely qualification for the playoff phase of the K League following a 1–0 gain over Suwon which ensured a superior finish differential to FC Seoul, with whom Daejeon finished equal on points. The win over Suwon was Daejeon ‘s fifth consecutive victory and ultimately enabled them to qualify for the championship playoffs for the first gear time in their history. By midseason, it had seemed like another disappoint temper was in store for Daejeon fans, with precious few wins recorded, and a count of losses. When Kim Ho took over from previous director Choi Yun-Gyeom mid-season, Daejeon were languishing in 11th status. however, under the steering of their legendary coach, and with good performances from Denilson, who scored 14 goals, and one of Korea ‘s best technical players, Ko Jong-Soo, they finally qualified for the play-offs. however, they were ultimately beaten by Ulsan Hyundai in the first base phase of the play-offs. In cup competitions, once again there was a miss of progress to a significant degree of knockout rounds .

stadium [edit ]

Since the 2002 K League season, which kicked off within a few weeks of the termination of the 2002 FIFA Football World Cup, Daejeon Citizen FC have played their family games at Daejeon World Cup Stadium. The stadium was specifically constructed for the world cup, and was completed in September 2001. Daejeon World Cup Stadium hosted two group games of the universe cup, equally well as the South Korea/Italy quarter-final. The fans of Daejeon Citizen have nicknamed the stadium “ empurpled Arena ”. The stadium has a seat capacity of 40,535. The last four family games of the 2014 season were played at the Hanbat Stadium, Daejeon ‘s honest-to-god ground to allow time for alimony sour to be carried out at World Cup Stadium. Daejeon will return to the World Cup Stadium for the 2015 season. [ 3 ]
