History edit

In November 2019, it was announced that Asan Mugunghwa, the police football club in which the South Korean footballers served their two-year military duty, would be transformed into a civil football club, where non-South Korean foreign footballers would also be able to play.[2] The club's new name, Chungnam Asan FC, along with a new crest, was officially revealed on 27 December 2019.[3]
