They are famous for being the first community-club in Korea (generally in Korea 'community-club' means that the club issues shares). In the case of Daejeon, although they didn't actually issue shares until 2005, they were known as a 'community-club' before this as they were the first club that did not belong to a specific company such as a 'chebol' or other major company. It had very symbolic meaning - the club was based on the support of the local community and not that of a specific company. Daejeon citizen took their first step towards K-League in 1997. In spite of insufficient budget, Daejeon won the 2001 Korean FA Cup, the decisive goal coming from Kim Eun-Jung to give the team a one-nil victory in the final, and is struggling in K-League as a team that cannot be beat easily.

History
The First step to K-League
After the beginning of K-League, until 1997, there were a few league matches held in Daejeon, but citizens of Daejeon couldn't have such solidarity to that matches because there was no team in local community, so they couldn't have such feeling that "That team is my own". They had to just enjoy the games as it were. However, in 1996 a plan to establish 'Daejeon Citizen' - their own local community club - unveiled, and then finally they could get their 'own' team. With a lot of expectations, Daejeon took their first step to K-League in 1997, having opening match against Ulsan Hyundai Horang-i. Establishment The K-League was founded in 1983 as the Korean Super League, with five member clubs The Ulsan Hyundai Horang-i club (which means Hyundai Tigers owned by Korean corporation Hyundai, entered the K-League in 1984. Manager Kim Ki-Bok, now vice-president of N-League ("National League", the second division), became the first manager of Daejeon. League History The league was officially founded in 2003 as the K2 League, to raise the level of competition at amateur level in Korea Daejeon was filled with confidence as a freshman of league, but result was not fairly good.
IMF Crisis
To Korean people, the year 1998 could be memorised as "hard year". IMF Crisis crashed the whole Korean economic, a lot of companies went into bankrupt, and a lot of people fired. There was no exceptions to Daejeon Citizen. The main board of Daejeon consisted of 4 groups - Kyeryong Construction Industrial, Dong-A Construction, DongYang Department Store, Chung-cheong Bank. But the storm of IMF made three group went into bankrupt and Kyeryong only surived and contiuned financial support to this club. But it didn't suffice to manage and participate in league game, so Daejeon had to suffer many difficulties.
On the verge of disappearing
From the season 2001, Lee Tae-Ho took the lead of the team, and took Daejeon's first champion title as led Citizen to the top position in 2001 FA Cup. Lee Tae-Ho (born January 29, 1961) is a South Korean former footballer who played for the whole of his career as a forward for Busan Daewoo Daejeon also got ticket to the 2002-03 AFC Champions League. The AFC Champions League is the current annual Asian club football competition hosted by Asian Football Confederation (AFC However, season 2002 was too cold for Daejeon and their fans to bear. We can remember the World Cup 2002 Korea/Japan, made whole Korean Peninsula be filled with 'Red' colour and chanting "Dae-Han-Min-Guk". Daejeon was one of host city for that grand world-event. After that events, Daejeon changed their home stadium (Daejeon Hanbat Stadium) to Daejeon World Cup Stadium, and got the chance to get more attendance. Daejeon World Cup Stadium, nicknamed "Purple Arena", is a football stadium in the South Korean city of Daejeon. But Citizen pluenged to the bottom position and got only one win of 27 games. Boss Lee Tae-Ho resigned taking responsibility for poor result. Lee Tae-Ho (born January 29, 1961) is a South Korean former footballer who played for the whole of his career as a forward for Busan Daewoo Also, financial supporter - Kyeryong - Decleared that they would pull them out of citizen's main board. Winter was too chilly. But Daejeon fans stood for Daejeon Citizen, then Daejeon City Hall decided to give financial support to Citizen. Daejeon ( is a capital city of Chungcheongnamdo Province and metropolitan city in the center of South Korea. Daejeon took chances to revive.
Miracle 2003
Daejeon fans can't forget the memories of season 2003 easily. That means, for Daejeon fans, the year 2003 was too fantastic and happy. Current Boss Choi Yun-Gyeom succeeded ex-boss Lee, showed miraclous ability to attandance of Purple Arena (Nickname for Daejeon World Cup Stadium). Choi Yun-Gyeom is a South Korean football manager currently in charge of Daejeon Daejeon World Cup Stadium, nicknamed "Purple Arena", is a football stadium in the South Korean city of Daejeon. Daejeon took 6th position in the K-League, which is the best position after its first step, also gathered average 19,092 attandance (the best record in 2003) although they didn't have 'big star'. Establishment The K-League was founded in 1983 as the Korean Super League, with five member clubs Citizen became 'the pride of Daejeon citizen', proving the possibility of the "community-club".
The Daejeon fans often wear yellow shirts as a tribute to chickens that used to run around outside the ground before games. This was abandoned due to Asian Bird Flu in 2005, a decision which caused great shame to the loyal and dispearing fans of super Daejeon Citizens FC Football Club. Now they refuse to wear shirts as a sign of protest, but this too was abandoned due to fattening.
Then the Seouljers came to town and kicked well and braved it out, as they always do.
Playoff Qualification 2007
Citizen achieved what appeared to be a highly unlikely qualification for the end of season championship playoffs with a 1-0 win over Suwon. This was Daejeon's 5th consecutive victory and ultimately enabled them to qualify for the first time in their history. When Kim Ho took over mid-season, Citizen were langushing in 11th position, but under the guidance of their legendary coach, they will be looking to go all the way, starting with an away match against Ulsan on Sunday 21st October.
