Liaoning Shenyang Urban Football Club (Chinese: 辽宁沈阳城市足球俱乐部; pinyin: Liáoníng Shěnyáng Chéngshì Zúqiú Jùlèbù) is a Chinese professional football club based in Shenyang, Liaoning, that competes in China League One, the second tier of Chinese football. Liaoning Shenyang Urban plays its home matches at the Shenyang Urban Construction University Stadium, located within Hunnan District.
History
Shenyang City F.C. was established by former footballer Zhuang Yi in 2015 with out-of-contract players from Shenyang Zhongze F.C. who dissolved just before the 2015 China League One season.[1][2] They enrolled in the 2015 China Football Amateur League and finished in the top 4, gaining promotion to China League Two, and subsequently rebranded to Shenyang Urban F.C. starting the following year.
The club had a lengthy stay in China League Two, making it to the play-off stage twice, in the 2016 and 2018 seasons, but fell short in the first round both times. On 12 May 2018, club owner Zhuang Yi was substituted on in a 7–1 league win over Baotou Nanjiao to become the oldest ever appearance-maker in professional Chinese football at 44 years and 305 days.[3] Zhuang then broke his own appearance record on 3 June 2018 in a 4–0 win against Yanbian Beiguo, and scored a penalty in the match, making him the oldest goal scorer in professional Chinese football at 44 years and 327 days.[4] The club’s effort finally came to fruition in the 2019 China League Two, when they were crowned as champions after beating Chengdu Better City in the finals, gaining a historic promotion to China League One.
In April 2020, the club changed their name to Liaoning Shenyang Urban F.C.[5]
On 8 January 2024, a press conference held by the People's Government of Liaoning revealed that the club would be renamed to Liaoning Liudi Football Club (Chinese: 辽宁六地足球俱乐部), and would be promoted to the Chinese Super League within the next two years, in an effort to revitalise football in Liaoning.[6]
