Asia's Player of the Century Cha Bum-kun was the manager of the club from 2004 to 2010, when he replaced former South Korea national team manager Kim Ho who had been the club's first manager. The club was officially founded in December 1995, by Samsung, to be the ninth member of the K-League from the 1996 season. It was also the first club to be founded in one specific city, a plan which led to the K-League initiating plans to encourage the other member clubs to forge similar links with local communities. The current crest has been used since 2008. The castle in the middle of the crest is the Hwaseong Fortress, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The wing in the top of the crest symbolizes the Suwon Samsung Bluewings Football Club's will to rise to the top and emerge victorious by speedy and dynamic game plays. BLUEWINGS is the representation of the Suwon Samsung Football Club opening doors to Korean football's brighter future.
