Busan Transportation Corporation FC


Busan Transportation Corporation FC


Busan Transportation Corporation Football Club, often referred to as 'the mighty' Busan Transportation Corporation, is a semi-professional South Korean soccer club based in the city of Busan. The club is currently playing in K3 League for the 2024 season. They are owned and operated by Busan Transportation Corporation and play their home games at the Busan Gudeok Stadium, the spiritual home of football in the city and one of the venues for the 1988 Summer Olympics.

History

Founded in February 2006, the club plays in the Korea National League. In 2011, they reached the National league play-offs, as well as beating local Top tier K League 1 side Gyeongnam FC in the Korean FA Cup. Their first trophy came in 2009, winning the National Sports Festival winners. They won the tournament again in 2013 retaining it in 2014 with victory on the island of Jeju, the first time a team has done this. With the National League Cup, which was won in 2010, that makes an impressive four trophies in only a 9-year history, something their city neighbours, I-Park, can only look upon with envy.

The club's biggest rivals are Changwon City, with whom they contest as the 'Gyeongsangnam-do derby' twice a year in what are always fiercely fought affairs. Other rivals include K-League team, Busan IPark, who are largely seen as the city's pretenders following a move from the Gudeok Stadium to the more recently built Asiad Stadium, resulting in Busan Transportation Corporation taking on the nickname, the Busan Derby. Lastly, they have a friendly rivalry with Daejeon Korail, whom they play against each season in what has been dubbed the Lokomotiv derby.
