Perspective
Gwangju Gwangsan FC was established in 2008[1] and played in Gwangju until 2014.
Sources regarding their inaugural season are contradictory. Some say Gwangju Gwangsan FC finished first in the league, and were eliminated in the playoffs by Sancheok.[2] Others say Yongin finished first in the league.[3] Whatever their final placing, it allowed them to enter the first round of the following season's Korean FA Cup. In 2009, the team finished 2nd to qualified for the Korean FA Cup again. There were no play-off during that season.
Over the next few seasons they would finish in or near the bottom half of the table multiple times, and did not play in the Korean FA Cup again until 2012, when all K3 were granted automatic entry.
In 2015, the team relocated to Pyeongchang County and changed their name to Pyeongchang FC.[4] They fared no better and in 2016 they were relegated to the newly created fourth division, K3 League Basic.
Throughout the teams' history, they never managed to progress past the first round of the Korean FA Cup. In 2015, they were automatically entered in to the second round, but failed to progress. Each time they were eliminated by a lower league teams, twice my regional sides and the rest by university sides. Their worst Cup result come in 2018 when Yongin University beat then 7-1.[5]
In 2020, the KFA would merge the semi-professional National League and amateur K3 and K4 leagues. The main criteria for inclusion in the restructured system was financial sustainability, and Pyeongchang FC was one of the teams denied entry.[citation needed] The team initially intended to restructure and enter the 2021 season, but was unable and chose to disband instead. [citation needed]
In 2021, a new team Pyeongchang United FC was established, but they are not recognised as a direct successor, and did not inherit the history of Pyeongchang FC.[6]
