Guangdong Hongyuan Era

Guangdong Hongyuan Football Club was co-founded by the Guangdong Hongyuan Group and the Guangdong Football Association on September 15, 1992.

In 1998, the GuangDong Hongyuan Group bought the remaining shares from the Guangdong Football Association to gain full control of the club.

At the start of the Jia A League (the former name of Chinese Super League), Guangdong Hongyuan was one of the most agile teams and finished highly. The team benefitted from their purchases of superstars Li Bing and Ma Mingyu, plus local stars such as Xie Yuxin. However, Li Bing and Ma Mingyu were sold to Sichuan in 1997 and Guangdong Hongyuan were relegated to the Jia B League (the former name of Chinese Football Association Jia League). Since then, the club have been unsuccessful in winning promotion back into the elite division.

Qingdao Era

Qingdao Hailifeng Football Club was founded in 18 March, 1998 [ [http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=298850411 百度_中文足球资料大全吧_中国职业足球俱乐部历史资料（还在收集中） ] ] and has recently been a regular in the second division. However, the club has never won promotion to the Jia B League, gaining it place in the division only by buying Guangdong Hongyuan in December 2001. After 4 years of failure to win promotion, the Guangdong Hongyuan Group had lost patience and agreed to sell their Jia B League team to Qingdao Hailifeng.
