History

After founded in 1943 as Joseon Railways FC, the team competed in various semi-professional football competitions throughout decades until they joined Korea National League in 2003.

In 1948, the club changed its name to Ministry of Transportation FC after Joseon Railways was absorbed into Ministry of Transportation by South Korean government. The club was renamed Korean Railways FC in 1963 and Korea National Railroad FC in 1995. In 2004, to comply with Korea National League's club naming policy, the club added the team's location to its name, changing the name to Incheon Korea National Railroad FC. After Korea National Railroad was renamed Korail, the club's name was also changed again to Incheon Korail FC during the 2007 season. At the end of the 2013 season, the club has been renamed Daejeon Korail FC after the team's relocation from Incheon to Daejeon.
