[edit] 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 transfer purchases of superstars Li Bin and Ma Mingyu, plus local stars such as Xie Yuxin. However, Li Bin and Ma Mingyu were sold to Sichuan at 1997 and Guangdong Hongyuan was relegated to the Jia B League (the former name of Chinese Football Association Jia League). Since then, the club has been unsuccessful in its bid for promotion back into the elite division.
[edit] Qingdao Era
Qingdao Hailifeng Football Club was founded in 1998 and has been a regular in the second division. However, the club was not able to gain promotion to the Jia B League, until it finally made the decision to buy a team from the upper division in December 2001. At that time, Guangdong Hongyuan Group had lost patience after 4 years of failure to win promotion and agreed to sell the team to Qingdao Hailifeng.
