Dalian Yingbo F.C.

The team was founded in 2021 as Dalian Duxing Football Club (Chinese: 大连读行足球俱乐部).^[1] Upon establishment, the team has strong connection with the dissolved Dalian Shide, as the coaching staff consisted of former Shide players.^[2] The team attracted many Dalian players who previously played at local teams such as Dalian Aerbin and Dalian Transcendence, many of which had Chinese Super League appearances.^[3]

In the 2022 season, Dalian Duxing started in the Chinese Champions League. The team placed first in Group I of the regional competition and made it to the final round, where they finished third, and went on to win the promotion play-offs to acquire promotion into China League Two.

At the beginning of the 2023 season, the team changed to a neutralised name Dalian Zhixing Football Club (Chinese: 大连智行足球俱乐部), as requested by the Chinese Football Association,^[4] and signed more players from Dalian.^[5] Dalian Zhixing finished second in the 2023 China League Two season, to gain promotion into China League One. However, the investors of the team, the Dalian Shanhai Group, were involved in illegal fundraising cases.^[6] This meant that the club lost their funding, and was put into a forced auction in December 2023.^[7] On 15 December, it was confirmed that Dalian Tongshun Construction Co., Ltd. (Chinese: 大连统顺建设有限公司), a company that has been running an amateur team Dalian Tongshun Construction F.C. since 2014, completed the acquisition.^[8]

On 29 January 2024, the team was renamed as Dalian Yingbo Football Club, which was adopted from a pool of names in a naming contest.^[9]
