Club history
2006 season
In their first season, K-League 2006, Gyeongnam FC located 12th place of K-League. Locating 3rd place of Hauzen Cup, they looked promising a bright future will come to the club. But in the middle of cup, Kim Jin-Yong the influencable striker lined out for a half year.
2007 season
Gyeongnam FC was 4th place for K-League 2007 with Park Hang-Seo. His tactic was brilliant enough and well-organized players to brought them to that place. But they defeated by Pohang Steelers by penalty shootout in the first round of play-offs. There were some arguments about Jung Sung-Ryong, the Pohang Steelers Goalkeeper's tackle. The Best play of Season for Gyeongnam FC was Cabore, who was member of K-League best team and top scorer at then. He scored 18 goals during 26 matches. Also he record continuous attack points during 8 league matches. Although he had talked about his affection for Gyeongnam FC and to being Korean many times, he moved to FC Tokyo suddenly. Then it went worse for Gyeongnam FC. Park Hang-Seo the gaffer and Chief Excutive Jeon Hyung-Doo quit their job immediately.
2008 season
Before starting the 2008 season, Cho Kwang-Rae, who also comes from Jinju cityGyeongnam was appointed the new manager . He managed Anyang Cheetahs FC, one of the most powerful clubs of the K-League , was 1 time of winner of the K-League and 2 times of runner-up in the K-League and ACL. By Cho's management, Gyeongnam FC showed improved performances for their fans. Newbie Seo Sang-Min was a valuable player because of his goals including 2 goals in his 1st matche of the K-League 2008, versus Daegu FC. Also Brazilian Attacking Midfielder Índio's performance filled in the vacuum left by the departure of Cabore's . At the last match of K-League 2008, Gyeongnam FC met Jeonbuk Motors, also aimed at getting into the K-League playoff. Through Kim Dong-Chan's scoring, Gyeongnam FC fans expected to get to the playoff, but Gyeongnam FC suffered a reversal by 3 goals by Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors including a Kim Hyung-Bum free-kick . So they were frustrated as a result of that loss. But they still got to the Korean FA Cup 2008 final because of Kim Dong-Chan's continuous scoring including a hat-trick in a semi final match. But they were defeated by Pohang Steelers, and lost entry into the ACL till the next time.
2009 season
In January 2009, Kim Jin-Yong transferred to Seongnam Ilhwa. He was traded with Kim Dong-Hyun, member of South Korean national football team. Because of this trade, fans consured to Gyeongnam FC board. So Gyeongnam FC board made a decision to blank his back number for 2009 season. But fans as ever miss him. In 2009 season, so many newbies include Song Ho-Young make a good performance for fans and former South Korean National Football Team goalkeeper Kim Byung-Ji exerts influence on club by his experiences and professionalism.
Gyeongnam will move the stadium from Changwon Civil Stadium to Changwon Football Stadium in 2010. But assembly of Changwon city interrupted that plan, so club board and fans makes an effort to move to Changwon Football Stadium.
