With the strong playing Choi Yong -soo and Lee Young- pyo young players succeeded in 2000, the third title in South Korea. Since they had built large stadiums for the 2002 World Cup, it now came to a renewed move movement in the K -League: Since the association wanted to avoid financial losses from the maintenance of large stadiums, he supported the move of the larger, successful clubs in the individual World Cup cities and thus the franchise returned to Seoul to henceforth play its home matches at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Then it was renamed FC Seoul. 2004 joined the club of the LG Group in the possession of the GS Group, which was created from a split of the LG Group. FC Seoul is one of the financially strongest teams of South Korea.
