Gyeongju Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power FC (Korean: 경주 한국수력원자력 FC) or simply Gyeongju KHNP is a South Korean football team based in Gyeongju. They currently compete in the K3 League. They are run by Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power and play their home games at Gyeongju Civic Stadium.
History
The club was originally founded in 1945 as Gyeongseong Electric Football Club (Korean: 경성전기 축구단) but was dissolved in 1950 due to the Korean War. They were later re-established in 1962 as the KEPCO Football Club (Korean: 한국전력 축구단). From 2001, the team was re-established again, this time as KHNP FC (Korean: 한국수력원자력 축구단). Based in Daejeon, the club joined the semi-professional Korea National League, known at the time as the K2 League, in its inaugural season in 2003.
As Daejeon KHNP, they were runners-up in the 2010 National League, losing to Suwon City in the playoff final after finishing the first stage of the league in first place.
Ahead of the 2013 season, the club relocated to Gyeongju. Rebranded as Gyeongju KHNP, they were National League runners-up again in 2013 and 2015 before becoming champions for the first time in 2017.
They successfully defended their title in 2018 but failed to gain a third in 2019, finishing as runners-up following a 2-0 defeat by Gangneung City in the championship final.
Gyeongju KHNP joined the newly relaunched K3 League in its inaugural season after it absorbed the National League in 2020. They finished the 2020 season as runners-up.
In 2016, Gyeongju KHNP FC and the mayor of Gyeongju announced that a women's football team would be established alongside the existing men's team. Gyeongju KHNP WFC was formally launched in 2017.
