Wuxi Zobon F.C. (Simplified Chinese: 无锡中邦足球俱乐部) is a football club based in Wuxi, China and currently playing in the China Jia League.

History

This club was founded in 2003 as Shanghai Jiucheng (The 9) by Zhu Jun, the CEO of The9 Limited and joined the Chinese Yi League in 2004. They won the play-offs and promoted to Chinese Jia League where in 2005, they finished in 9th position.

In 2005, however, The9 Limited and Zhu Jun purchased the ownership of Shanghai Zobon, a super league team, and the newly merged club was renamed as Shanghai Liancheng Zobon (aka Shanghai United).

However, except for five players such as star midfielders Qi Hong and Jiang Kun, the rest of the players at the old Jiucheng club could not join the new Shanghai Liancheng Zobon, due to transfer rules in Chinese football. And they formed the basis of another new club, which was bought by the Euro-China Group (Simplified Chinese: 中欧集团) who renamed the team as Shanghai Qunying also known as the Shanghai Stars. When a company called Kangbo sponsored the team from 2005 to 2006 it was then known as Shanghai Kangbo in China. Currently a company called Qidouxing (Simplified Chinese: 七斗星商旅酒店; Top Star) are club sponsors so the team is now known as Shanghai Qidouxing.

Before the season 2008, the club moved to Wuxi, a city in nearby Jiangsu Province. Then club was renamed as Wuxi Zobon.
