Incheon Korail is a Korean football club based in the city of Incheon. It currently plays in the National League, the second division of Korean football. It is the oldest professional football club in Korea Republic.

History

The club was initially founded in 1943 as Joseon Railway Football Club, however the team name changed in 1945 after the end of Japanese colonialism, to Ministry of Transportation Football Club.

The team competed in the various amateur football competitions of the time, before changing its name again in 1963, this time becoming Railroad Football Club. There was to be a further name change in 1995 when it adopted the name Korea National Railroad Football Club, and prior to the 2008 season the club's official name changed to Incheon Korail.

National League and cup shocks

Incheon Korail were participants in the inaugural K2 League season in 2003, a competition they would go on to win in 2005 with a 4-2 aggregate victory over Suwon City.

The side developed something of a reputation as cup specialists, having knocked several K-League teams out of the Korean FA Cup tournament in the past. They have claimed victories over Bucheon, Chunnam Dragons, Incheon United and Suwon Samsung Bluewings (twice) in the tournament. They were semi-finalists in 2005, and reached the quarter-finals in 2001.
