Suwon Samsung Bluewings is a Korean football team based in Suwon. Founded in December 1995, they have become one of Asian football's premier clubs, with a host of domestic and continental honours.
Former national team manager Kim Ho took charge of the side from their opening season in the K-League, and the team finished runners-up in the championship play-off that same season. The championship was secured in 1998 and retained in 1999 as Suwon started to dominate Korean football.
Suwon lifted the AFC Champions League twice in succession (2001 and 2002), also adding twice the Asian Super Cup.
The club has been home to some of the best Korean football players; Lee Woon-Jae, Ko Jong-Soo, Choi Sung-Yong, Kim Nam-Il, Cho Jae-Jin, Song Chong-Gug and Seo Jung-Won have all worn the blue shirt. Some of the best imports to the league, such as Nadson, Denis Laktionov, Saša Drakulić, Zoran Urumov and Gabriel Popescu, have all proved to be hugely influential for the club through the years.
The departure of Kim Ho in 2003 saw Korean football legend Cha Bum-keun appointed boss and trusted with keeping the Samsung at the top of Korean and Asian football.
Cha kept up the fine traditions of the club by leading the club to victory in the second stage of the 2004 K-League season, and guaranteeing the club a place in the end-of-season Championship playoffs. The club emerged victorious after a dramatic 4-3 penalty shootout win over Pohang Steelers and lifted the 2004 Championship.
Suwon finished runners-up in both major domestic competitions in 2006 as Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma claimed victory in the K-League championship playoff final and Chunnam Dragons won in the FA Cup final, thwarting Suwon's attempts to win the first ever domestic double in Korean football.

[edit] Supporters
The main Suwon supporters group is called 'GRAND BLEU Supporters Union', more commonly referred to as 'GRAND BLEU'. The name 'GRAND BLEU' came from Luc Besson's movie Le Grand Bleu, which refers to the meaning of the 'great deep blue sea'.
GRAND BLEU was organized in 1996 as the first official supporters club in the K-league. Originally, the official name of the supporters club was 'Cyber Wings'.
With their two general mottos, The First & The Best and All the people who love Suwon are the GRAND BLEU, the GRAND BLEU has now grown to become the largest supporters group in the K-league with more than thirty thousand members.[citation needed] GRAND BLEU shows great performances at each matches using various equipment such as flares, smoke bombs, giant flags and giant card displays.
The famous Red Devil, South Korean national football team supporters club was also organised by people who are members of GRAND BLEU.
