Gwangju Sangmu Phoenix (Korean: 광주 상무 불사조, Hanja: 光州 尙武 不死鳥) is a professional football club. Sangmu (상무, 尙武) is the sports division of the Military of South Korea.
Sangmu originally joined the K-League back in the 1985 season but spent only one year before dropping back out. After establishing a home base in Gwangju, the club rejoined the K-League at the start of the 2003 season.
Sangmu's playing staff is made up of young Korean professional footballers serving their two year military duty. Fifteen players join up at the start of every season and spend two years with the side before returning to their previous professional club. Sangmu are not allowed to sign any foreign players because of their military status.
The reserve side, Sangmu B, competed in the K2 League from 2003 to 2005 before joining the K-League reserve league. It finished runners-up in the 2003 K2 League season, and was based in Icheon for the three years it competed at K2 level.
