Overview
Gangwon FC was founded in 2008 as a citizen-owned club representing Gangwon Province, which previously had no professional football team — 68,896 residents of the province bought shares to launch it, with initial capital of 9 billion won.
For the 2026 season, Gangwon’s home ground is Gangneung Hiwon Arena (in prior seasons, home matches were split with Chuncheon Songam Sports Town). As a province-wide franchise rather than a single-city club, Gangwon FC splits its home matches between the cities of Chuncheon and Gangneung — be sure to check which stadium is hosting before you travel to a match.

Seating Guide
For the 2026 season, all of Gangwon FC’s home games are held at Gangneung Stadium (ending the previous split with Chuncheon — though a return to Chuncheon is possible from 2027, so it’s worth checking each season). The supporters group “Nareusya” leads chants from the central corridor, and while it’s a multi-purpose venue with a running track, the high stand tiers are said to keep sightlines reasonably good.

Cheering Culture
Gangwon FC’s official supporters, ‘Narsya,’ take their name from an archaic, honorific form of the Korean word for ‘to fly.’ They’re also known for a memorable moment when singer Narsha — who happens to share the name — sent them a message of support.
