Yangzee FC was a South Korean football club that existed between 1967 and 1970.

The club was founded in 1967 by the then head of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency , Kim Hyung-wook , to improve South Korean football after North Korea's selection made it to the quarter-finals at the 1966 World Cup.

The recruiting of the best talent of the time was on the one hand the participation of the players in place of the conscription in the South Korean army as well as the South Korean nationality. The team dominated the domestic soccer scene of its time. In 1969 it reached the final of the Asian Champion Club Tournament . This was lost against Maccabi Tel Aviv with 0: 1.

Trainers were Choi Chung-min (1967-1968) and Kim Yong-sik (1968).

When relations with North Korea improved in 1970, the team was disbanded on March 17, 1970.
