The Gijang County Football Club is a key sports initiative promoted by Gijang-gun to revitalize community athletics and foster local pride. It originated from a policy proposal by the 8th Civilian Transition Committee of Gijang-gun in 2022, and after going through preparations such as ordinance enactment and securing a budget, the club was officially founded this year.

The Gijang County Football Club, representing Gijang-gun, is led by club owner Mayor Jeong Jongbok and consists of three coaches and 29 players. The team began its official K4 League journey this year, starting with a match against Jinju Citizen Football Club on February 22.
