History
Founding
The club was founded on 10 December 2023, with Kim Seong-il as manager and Jeong Gwang-min as coach.[1]
Inaugural Season
Under the charge of Kim Seong-il, Namyangju played their first match on 16 March 2024, a home 1–1 draw against Jinju Citizen FC. They finished the 2024 season in 6th position. The season was uncharacteristically congested with all teams from 3rd through 8th position having the same league points, with final places being determined by goal difference and number of wins.[2] In the FA cup the failed to progress past the first round, losing to K3 League side Paju Citizen FC.[3]
The club represented Namyangju City in the 2024 Gyeonggi Provincial Sports Festival, and won the championship by beating Hwaseong FC 1:0 in the final.[4]
Second Season
Still managed by Kim Seong-il, Namyangju FC started their second league season well with nine matches undefeated, six wins and three draws.[5][6] They would remain at the top of the standings for most of the season, overtaken only for brief periods by Dangjin Citizen FC.
In the Korea Cup they progressed to the third round where they suffered an 3–0 away loss to Daejeon Korail FC on 16 April. [7][8]
Their end of season form failed them, and their last 5 results were a draw followed by four consecutive losses, often against low ranked teams, dropping them to second place behind Dangjin based on goal difference. They finished the season with 5 straight losses by when they lost to FC Mokpo in the K3/4 League promotion-relegation match. [9]
