History
Langfang Glory City
Langfang Glory City was founded in December 2022, on the brink of dissolution for the Hebei first-team, also based in Langfang.[1][2] As champions of the 2022 Hebei Football League, Langfang Glory City were promoted to the CMCL for the 2023 season.[3] After Hebei's dissolution, a number of their former youth academy players joined Langfang Glory City.[4]
Led by manager Liu Junwei, a former Hebei caretaker manager, Langfang Glory City were drawn into the groups E and F division of the 2023 CMCL.[5] On 12 July, after 5 matches in played at centralised venues in Changzhi, the team finished first place, guiding Langfang into the final round.[6]
Langfang were drawn into group B of the final round alongside the likes of Binzhou Huilong, Guangxi Hengchen, and Guangzhou E-Power.[7] On 8 October, after a 1–0 win over Guangxi Hengchen on home soil, Langfang Glory City gained promotion to the 2024 China League Two with a gameweek to spare by securing first place in the group stage.[8] In the two-legged finals play-offs, Langfang faced up against Shenzhen Juniors, first place in group A. In the first leg, Langfang picked up a 1–1 home draw on 29 October 2023, through a late Shenzhen Juniors equaliser.[9] In the second leg away on 3 November, 1–1 was once again the scoreline after 90 minutes making it 2–2 on aggregate, meaning the game would go to a penalty shoot-out. Langfang won 4–2 on spot-kicks, and they would step up into 2024 China League Two as invincible champions in the 2023 season.[10]
Hangzhou Linping Wuyue
On 20 February 2025, Langfang Glory City completed its relocation to Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and renamed themselves as Hangzhou Linping Wuyue Football Club.[11]
