2006 in South Korean football

SK, the owners of a K-League team based in Bucheon (Bucheon SK), surprised many when, with little warning, they moved the whole club to the island of Jeju, renaming the club Jeju United FC. The club based itself in Seogwipo where it took over the vacant Jeju World Cup Stadium.

Gyeongnam FC from the city of Changwon, joined the K-league, increasing the number of clubs to fourteen.
