Bucheon Football Club Hosts Beginning Event for K-League 2013


Bucheon Football Club Hosts Beginning Event for K-League 2013

It was a big shock that Bucheon SK Football Club changed their base city from Bucheon to Jeju in 2006. But the Hermes, supporters’ club for Bucheon FC, and Bucheon citizens didn’t stay in despair. 

Bucheon City, citizen, and the Hermes founded new professional football team, Bucheon FC, in Dec, 2007. It has been not easy to operate Bucheon FC by itself without financial support from a big company. But the members of Bucheon FC, the Hermes and Bucheon citizens who love football and Bucheon FC have gone through difficulties with giving up their salaries and donating their money and talents.

Finally last year 2012 Bucheon FC was in third place at Challengers’ Cup League and its operation went into the black. Most of all Bucheon FC got a chance to play in K-League, the biggest professional football league in South Korea.

The beginning event for Bucheon FC’s K-League 2013 was held on Feb. 16th, 2013 at the Grand Conference Room in Bucheon City Hall, Bucheon City, South Korea. The event focused on the slogan ‘BUCHEON IS BACK’.

The concept of the event was an opening ceremony of film festival. The guests stepped on red carpet, posed for the picture with the team’s mascot, and entered into the conference room. Season tickets for Bucheon FC’s games in 2013 were sold and the public application for stocks as citizen owners of Bucheon FC was prepared. Some guests got season tickets for 2013, gift cards, football goods, and footballs signed by players as gifts.
