Suwon FC Women
football club in Suwon, Korea
Suwon FC Women (Korean: 수원 FC 위민) is a South Korean women's football team based in Suwon. They compete in the WK League, the highest division of women's football in South Korea.
History
In 2007, amid dwindling participation in women's and girls' football nationwide, the Suwon City Government announced its intention to form South Korea's sixth women's works football team. The club was founded in February 2008 as Suwon Facilities Management Corporation WFC. The team has played in the WK League since its inaugural season in 2009. Suwon FMC won the championship title in 2010.
In 2019, the club reached the championship final for the first time since their 2010 title win.
Before the 2022 WK League season, the club merged with the existing Suwon FC men's team and changed its name to Suwon FC Women. In 2022, Suwon signed Ji So-yun from Chelsea in a move that aimed to increase interest not only in the club, but in the WK League as a whole. Ji left the club to join NWSL side Seattle Reign in 2024, after Suwon reached the 2023 WK League championship final but ultimately finished as runners-up.
Suwon FC won its second WK League title in 2024, qualifying for the 2025–26 AFC Women's Champions League.

Why this record matters
The phrase “football club in Suwon, Korea” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7650613. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
