Mungyeong Sangmu WFC (Korean: 문경 상무) is a South Korean women's football team based in Mungyeong, North Gyeongsang Province. The club operates within the sports division of the Republic of Korea Armed Forces. The team was founded in 2007 and competes in the WK League, the top division of women's football in South Korea.

History

Following the success of the women's national football team at the 2005 EAFF Women's Football Championship, and alongside plans to expand the female workforce in the military, the Ministry of National Defense announced in 2005 that it was considering establishing a women's football team.[1] The team was established in 2007 and was initially based in Busan.[2] Manager Lee Mi-yeon, appointed in 2008, was the first female coach of a Korean women's works football team.[3]

Sangmu were one of the six teams to participate in the inaugural season of the WK League in 2009.[4]

The team relocated to Boeun County in 2016 and was known as Boeun Sangmu until it moved again, to Mungyeong, in 2023.[5] [6]

Because of their military status, they are not allowed to sign any foreign players. All players undergo military training and three years of mandatory service, after which they can apply for long-term service.[7]
