Suwon Samsung Bluewings (Korean: 수원 삼성 블루윙즈) is a South Korean football club based in Suwon, South Korea, that plays in the K League 1. Founded in December 1995, they have won the national championship on four occasions (1998, 1999, 2004, and 2008), and the Asian Club Championship (the predecessor to the AFC Champions League) twice (2000–01 and 2001–02).

In the club's name Bluewings, Blue means the image of Samsung, the club's owner, and "Clear blue sky, hope, dreams and vision", and wings means Suwon's will to reach the top and fast and dynamic football play.

History[]

The club was officially founded in December 1995, by Samsung Electronics, to be the ninth member of the K-League from the 1996 season. It was also the first club to be founded in one specific city, a plan which led to the K-League initiating plans to encourage the other member clubs to forge similar links with local communities.

Former South Korean national team manager Kim Ho took charge of the side from their first season in the K-League, and the team finished runners-up in the championship play-off that season. The championship was secured in 1998 and retained in 1999 as Suwon started to dominate Korean football.

Suwon lifted the Asian Club Championship twice in succession in 2000–01 and 2001–02, and also added the Asian Super Cup to their roll of honors on two occasions.

In the 2002 season, Suwon also won the FA Cup for the first time, achieving a continental double.

The departure of Kim Ho in 2003 saw Korean football legend Cha Bum-kun appointed manager ahead of the 2004 season, and the club won its third league title in his debut season as manager.

Suwon finished runners-up in both major domestic competitions in 2006, as Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma claimed victory in the K-League championship play-off final and Chunnam Dragons won in the FA Cup final, thwarting Suwon's attempts to win the first ever domestic double in Korean football.

The 2008 season became one of the most successful seasons in the club's history. Suwon achieved a domestic "double" by winning the K League Championship and the League Cup.

Suwon won the FA Cup five times in the 2002, 2009, 2010, 2016 and 2019, becoming the most winning team in the FA Cup. In particular, the 2016 Korean FA Cup final drew attention as it was a Super Match against traditional rival FC Seoul.

Crest and colours[]

Hwaseong Fortress

Crest[]

The current crest has been used since 2008. The crest of club signifies the harmony of the beauty of Suwon city, or the home of club, and club' enthusiasm for the sports. The castle in the middle of the crest is the Hwaseong Fortress, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Landmark of Suwon city. 'Blue Wings' and wing in the top of the crest is club's first crest and symbolizes the Suwon Samsung Bluewings's will to rise to the sky of world football.

Colours[]

The club's main colour, Blue, is the colour of Samsung, also symbolizes youth and spirit. Red is a symbol of passion and challenge, expressing vitality and dynamism.

Grounds[]

Stadium[]

A view of Suwon World Cup Stadium

Suwon Samsung Bluewings used Suwon Sports Complex as its home stadium from 1995 through 2001, which seats around 11,808.

Samsung began building the stadium in 1996, but construction stopped in 1998 due to the financial crisis, and with the support of Suwon and Gyeonggi Province, it was able to complete the construction in may 2001. This stadium was used as a venue for the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

Based on the shape of the roof of the stadium, fans sometimes call the stadium Big Bird.

Training ground[]

Suwon Samsung Bluewings's training ground is located in Dongtan, a district of Hwaseong.
