Common Questions

What is Ansan Foreign Supporters Club?

AFSC was established in 2008 as a group of non-Koreans who regularly attended matches at the Wa Stadium. There is noticably a lack of promotion or awarenss of the team around the city, so the club was set-up as a point of meeting for those interested in watching Ansan football. Many of the original members of the club had attended matches before either alone or in a small group, so the club was established to allow people to meet other fans more easilly and enhance the matchday experience. Of note, there were many non-Koreans interested in watching games at the Wa Stadium and whence the name 'Foreign Supporters Club' was chosen. It is also noted that there is a lack of information about the club available ofr non-Korean speakers so AFSC intends to create a resource in English for anyone interested in the team.

Why is the website domain '.co.uk'?

The '.co.uk' name was chosen for convenience, not necessarily to be representative of the club members. Altough the majority of club members over the last few years have been from the UK; Irish, Americans, New Zealanders and even Austrians have attended games with AFSC. AFSC is a membership by attendance only club, so we do not take donations from members, as a result the current domain was the most economically viable choice at the time. Donations however are certainly welcome to establish other domain names for the website.
