Yongin FC will take its first step on the professional stage. Yongin, which built luxury members such as Shin Jin-ho and Seok Hyun-jun, presented an unconventional goal of promotion in its first year.
Yongin held an opening ceremony in connection with the New Year's concert at Yongin Poeun Art Hall in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 4th. The event was attended by major soccer figures and citizens, including Yongin Special Mayor Lee Sang-il, president of the Korea Professional Football Federation Kwon Oh-gap, technical director Lee Dong-guk, and first manager Choi Yoon-kyum.
Mayor Lee Sang-il, the owner of Yongin, said, "The future of Yongin FC is bright. As four teams can be promoted this year, they will be able to be promoted if they prepare well with technical director Lee Dong-guk, he said. "We will run the club using the characteristics of the region, including Seok Hyun-joon and other players from Yongin Football Center."
In addition, Mayor Lee Sang-il said, "As a soccer lover, I will support the club," adding, "I will not say, 'Let go of your stomach.' Not a single player has been recommended so far. The selection of players will be focused on the general manager, coach, and director, he promised.
Kwon Oh-gap, president of the Korea Professional Football Federation, also congratulated, saying, "It is a slope of the K-League that Yongin, which has built a strong foundation for the past 20 years, has taken on a new challenge of establishing a professional team."
Yongin also unveiled a coaching staff consisting of offensive coach Kim Sang-rok, defensive coach Oh Bum-seok, analysis coach Ryu Hyung-yeol, and goalkeeper coach Lee Seung-joon, starting with coach Choi Yoon-gyeom. On top of that, a sports science team led by senior physical coach Kim Chan-bin will be operated separately to manage the team's condition scientifically.
The new club Yongin has an ultra-luxury team. K-League veteran midfielders Shin Jin-ho, Kwak Yun-ho, and Kim Han-gil filled the squad, as well as striker Seok Hyun-joon, a former national team player. In addition, he brought veteran Novo from Portugal and wrote the history of recruiting the first foreign goalkeeper in the K-League after the abolition of the league's goalkeeper restrictions.
He is also active in blood transfusions of promising players. Following bringing in Shin Seong goalkeeper Kim Min-joon, Yongin strengthened its firepower by recruiting Lee Eul-yong's son and winger Lee Seung-joon, a former U-20 representative, on loan from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Cor Pacan Club.
In addition, they deployed net resources to each position, including Kim Bo-seop, a striker from Incheon, Lee Jae-joon, a defender from Jeonbuk, and Lee Jin-seop from Ansan. He is ready to show his presence as a strong candidate for promotion in K League 2.
