History
The Early Years
In 1982, Lee Min-geol, an attorney who played football in middle school, started an early morning soccer club in Myeonmok-dong, Seoul. He named the club Aram Football Club, and they participated in the Seoul City Office Workers' Football. In 1992, the 10th anniversary of the club, the name was changed to Mustang Football Club. From the start, the club was focused on the love of football, not on competitive achievements. It was not uncommon for members of the club to use their own money to support other players' participation. In 1997, they started an independent youth club and ran youth tournaments to support youth football development. In 2002 the team started competing in the Puma Cup Footy League, which would later become the Connie Green Cup, the predecessor to the amateur K3 League. During this period the club was briefly named Dongdaemun Mustang Football Club, but when Myeonmok-dong was incorporated into Jungnang-gu, the team name naturally became Jungnang Mustang Football Club. Lee Min-geol had dreams of playing on a bigger stage and giving player who failed during their youth careers another chance at professional football. In 2011 he teamed up with Park Hyung-yeon, fellow football lover and head of the Chorus Law Firm, to push for entry in the K3 Challengers League.Jungnang Mustang Chorus Football Club
The predecessors to the current club were an important part of the team's history, but officially the team was founded on 28 February 2012 as Jungnang Chorus Mustang Football Club. Staying with their goal of providing a home for player who failed in other areas, the team raised eyebrows by refusing to recruit professional players doing their military civil service, and focused on recruiting high school graduates from and university dropouts. The club's first season could be considered a failure, finishing 16th out of 18 teams. But the owners were adamant that the team was focused on development, and players should enjoy football instead of worrying about winning. In the years since, the team has had only one season successful competitive season. However, the focus of the team never shifted and as late as 2023, Lee Min-geol still maintained that the clubs is focused on player development over team success in competitions. In 2017 the team changed their name to the simpler Seoul Jungnang Football Club, but the club emblem still displays the original name.Honours
