history
prehistory
Between 2007 and 2008, the Hwaseong Shinwoo Electronics association , which took part in the K3 League , was based in the city of Hwaseong . The association belonged to the Shinwoo Electronics company, which ran the association in cooperation with the city. In both seasons, the club finished the regular season in second place and then reached the final, which they lost. In 2009 Shinwoo Electronics ended the cooperation with the city of Hwaseong and moved to Samcheok . Shortly afterwards, the city announced that it would let its own club take part in the K3 League in the coming years.
Foundation (2013)
In the meantime, between 2009 and 2011, the Hwaseong Stadium was built to house the future club. Four years later, on January 23, 2013, the city government officially announced that it had founded Hwaseong FC, which will take part in the upcoming season. The club's first coach was Kim Jong-bu .
First seasons (2013-2016)

In the semi-finals of the championship round, the club met Icheon Citizen FC this time , which ended with 1: 1. Since Hwaseong FC was the host, Hwaseong FC automatically won the game and advanced to the final. There they met FC Pocheon . Hwaseong FC won the final and won the league championship for the first time. The club was also able to celebrate successes in the cup. In the first main round of the cup they received the Dongguk University , against whom they could win 2-1. In the subsequent round, the club had to compete against the then second division Suwon FC . The game was lost 3: 4 in the 90 'minute of the game by a goal from Jeong Min-uh . Nevertheless, the cup season could be rated positively.

The second place was still enough to participate in the championship round. In the championship round they then received again Paju Citizen FC, which this time went 2-1 for Hwaseong FC. In the quarterfinals they then played against Gyeongju Citizen FC . The game ended 0-0. The subsequent penalty shootout was just lost to Gyeongju 7-8. The cup season, however, went very well.

Both clubs met in the cup in 2017 after switching to the first one. The duel was called the Kim Jong-bu-Derby .
Lee Do-yeong was introduced as the successor to Kim Jong-bu . The 2016 season was an important season, as this season was about qualifying for the new K3 League Advance and K3 League Basic .
