History
Within weeks of the relocation of Bucheon SK, fans started a movement to form a brand new team in Bucheon, with an initial goal of creating a team to participate in the 2007 Korea National League season. The financial requirements for entry to the National League were so great and that, coupled with the launch of the K3 League in 2007, led to them readjusting their target and focusing on entry to the K3 League in 2008.
During the course of 2007, deals with several major sponsors, including Sportstoto, Daum and SK Energy, were negotiated. On 25 October 2007, the club's name, Bucheon FC 1995, was announced, and the club was officially founded on 1 December.
Bucheon FC 1995 became a professional club and got an approval to join the second tier K League Challenge on 5 December 2012. In their first season as a professional club, they finished in seventh place.[2]
