History

The club played in Jia-A League (the former name of Chinese Super League) from 1988 until 1997 except 1991 season. At the start of the Jia A League, Guangdong Hongyuan was one of the most agile teams and finished highly. The team benefitted from their purchases of superstars Li Bing and Ma Mingyu, plus local stars such as Xie Yuxin. However, Li Bing and Ma Mingyu were sold to Sichuan in 1997 and Guangdong Hongyuan were relegated to Jia-B League (the former name of Chinese Football Association Jia League). Since then, the club has been unsuccessful in winning promotion back into the elite division. In 1998, GuangDong Hongyuan Group bought the remaining shares from the Guangdong Football Association to gain full control of the club. The club was sold to Qingdao Hailifeng who played in Yi League in December, 2001.[1]
