Hwaseong City is promoting the establishment of Hwaseong FC, a purely amateur soccer team.

The city has recruited Kim Jong-bu (48), a former national team player, as inaugural head coach to participate in the Challengers League, an amateur league, in March next year.

The city plans to register Hwaseong FC with the Korea Football Association on the 13th of this month and officially launch it in January next year.

To this end, head coach Kim Jong-bu, who was recruited last month, is currently preparing for final player trials and squad composition to strengthen the new club's roster for next season. The city is also recruiting supporters for the soccer team.

A city official said, "Hwaseong FC aims to participate in the Challengers League in its first year and target top-tier placement."
